Mt. Sorak & the East Coast

We ventured out to Mt. Sorak, a very popular place here in Korea. Many tourists visit in the fall, simply to enjoy the changing of the leaves and hike. We missed the peak week, but there was still some beauty to behold. Lately, the beautiful leaves have just been food for my soul. I have been obsessive with kids and pictures, and leaves. But, that's not the only reason we made the four hour trip to the mountains; we wanted to "mark" this off of our list! It was a quick trip (due to rain). Actually, the lack of food choices might have been factored in as well. We have not developed a taste for Korean food, and that was the only choice there. Anyways, it was beautiful, and the morning we woke up, we saw snow-capped mountains. I am really glad we visited this area of Korea. The kids had so much fun too. We were with the Watts' family, and it's always fun when other kiddos are around. We basically hung out in the hallway of our hotel once we settled in. Remember, we missed peak week, so we had the 8th floor to ourselves!

precious, precious, precious

this is my FAVORITE tree

Does anyone know what this sign says? I think it says something about the cutest kids in the world :)

After leaving the mountains, we were driving along the coast for a while. We stopped at a fishing pier, and took in the beloved sound of crashing waves and smell of fish!

the fishing dock, with lots of boats!

This was inside the fishing dock/pier. There were people trying to sell fish that had been caught, I guess! We really couldn't figure it all out. We did figure that you could buy fresh fish, and then it could be cooked for you, right then and there...talk about fresh caught and cooked fish!
