The Dark Knight Rises

Yesterday we went to see the new Batman movie- all 4 of us. Judah did great! He stayed in the wrap pretty much the whole time. We put cotton in both of his ears and also covered his ears/head with the wrap so the noise wouldn't be too much for him.

 

If you haven't seen it yet, you should!

Look at the handsome daddy!

we stopped on the way home for Taylor to get some street food

Hello Kitty Cafe

Last week we went to the Hello Kitty Cafe. Maybe someday we can use these pictures to blackmail Judah. Just kidding!

Later that night we went for a walk down by the Han River. During the summertime, they have streams filled with water for kids to play in and people to walk through.

The Judah tour

Hi everyone!

We have the official dates that we will be back in the States traveling around to see everyone. If you're somewhere near one of our stops, maybe we can visit!

Newborn Pictures

We had newborn photos done when Judah was 8 days old. We're so happy with the results! If you want a high-quality resolution image of one of these to print out, let us know and we can email it to you.

Seolleong Tombs and Kimchi Museum

Yesterday we went for an outing. First we went to Royal Tombs right in the heart of Seoul.

Since Judah is a little bigger now, we can use the Baby Bjorn carrier

The tombs are called the Seolleong Tombs. King Seongjong and his wife Queen Jeonghyeon are buried there as well as their son.

You can walk on the King's path on the right but you can't walk on the Spirit road on the left.

King Seongjong's tomb

 There's a reason why Koreans bury their dead in a mound on a hill but I can't remember why. Good thing Korea is 80% mountains because they have a lot of people to bury here!

Queen Jeonghyeon's tomb

After we got nice and hot outside, we headed to the air conditioned COEX Mall, which is apparently Asia's largest underground shopping mall with an area of about 85,000 square meters.COEX Mall holds the Kimchi museum. We knew we had to visit it!

This is what we think of Kimchi. Actually it's reversed...I'm ok with Kimchi...Taylor hates it.

Cabbage Kimchi is not the only kind. There are dozens of varieties of Kimchi.

My favorite is the white cabbage kimchi because it's not spicy and not fishy tasting.

Taylor's favorite is cucumber kimchi

 

Most Koreans have a Kimchi fridge. It is very necessary to separate kimchi from everything else
in your refrigerator. If you don't, it will flavor everything in the fridge with its nasty kimchi taste.

COEX Mall has an awesome nursing moms room

Lastly, we went to TGI Fridays for dinner. Judah didn't really care about it too much.
