I've been thinking about Korea in my spare time, which is a lot lately! With North and South Korea in the news lately, every now and then I'll check the weather in South Korea. Burrrrr comes to mind! Their weather is similar to ours here in Tennessee really. So yeah, it's going to be cold, if not colder there in January and February of this next year. And hopefully we'll be there then! (fingers crossed, happy dance, whatever will make it happen!) So yeah, what the heck am I going to pack as far as warm clothing for all of us, Mike, Aiden and me?! Most everything I want to do in Seoul is outside! There's the awesome tour of the sites - which is outside! There's also the N Seoul Tower:
which I'm dying to see! If you'd like to see/read more about it, click here. It is very very cool!
There's also a Teddy Bear Museum in the Tower (which Taylor would absolutely love!), a Restaurant, etc! I'm telling you, you need to click above!!!
What's very significant about the Tower is the Locks of Love.
These locks were a symbol of couples love. Adoptive parents go there also with their child and place a lock with their names on it to signify the bond that the family will always be together! I just love that! Plus, there's all these street Markets to go shopping, like Insadong, Namdemum, The Train Station, etc! Yeah - outside! Even if I get frostbite I will visit these places!
Okay, yes it's going to be cold! I'm sure you've gathered that fact already, so we'll have to have very warm clothing. Which brings to mind, big, bulky clothing - takes up more room in a suitcase - NOT GOOD!!! Everyone that knows anything about the winter time in Seoul says dress in layers. And they say that because they keep those buildings inside at like 80 degrees~! So be ready to shed layers upon entering a building, there is no in between! Yikes! Which brings me to this find.
Tay and I were in Old Navy the other day and I ran across this little goody. I've been trying to think what would be some kind of something that Aiden can wear to keep him warm and not just be a jacket, hat, and gloves. They say dress in layers so I can see this working out well. This little goody will keep him warm from his head, down to his.... um ....ankles! It's a size 18-24 months, so it'll be too long for him, so I'm thinking, it'll cover his feet. But it does have a way for his hands to stay warm, and the cute little hood will work. AND, this little find cost me $4.49, regularly $19.99~! It was marked down to $9.99, but I noticed it had dirt on the bottom of both legs. I asked to go get another one, but the cashier volunteered to mark it half price since it was dirty! So yeah, it cost me $5! I walked out of there so tickled about this find. Oh, I washed it yesterday, the dirt came out and it's perfect! Yep, it's perfect for Aiden! :)
