Seoul Grand Park Zoo & New Friends

Line 4 to Seoul Grand Park.  We've got this subway thing down!  Nevermind the fact that, as Nate says, "it's the easiest thing in the world."

Rowdy boys are a concern to the locals.

I don't know who the Sedowicks are, but their mural sure is lovely.

Baby turtle Asher.  Awwwww.

Frankie's gotta keep her new scar out of the sun for 8 months.  If you find a little hat that doesn't have a picture of Dora on it, send it my way would ya?

At the Dolphin & Sealion show ala Sea World.  Ignore the fact that I neglected to photograph said dolphins.  Or any zoo animals for that matter. 

We ventured to the zoo with some new friends we made at the hotel.  Our first trip there was fun, but exhausting.  The Seoul Grand Park is huge and the zoo is probably a mile or so into it.  We didn't know a tram ran to and from the entrance so we hiked the kids in on the sunniest day we've had yet.  We had time to see  about four exhibits and the dolphin show, before the kids declared themselves exhausted and refused to walk any further.

We went back a couple days later with Nate and Nat (yes, I sometimes get their names confused, and yes, they hate it), and this time we did everything right.  We rode the tram to the entrance.  Bought tickets to the sky-lift and were air lifted to the top of the zoo where we worked our way down through the animals.

Our favorites were the enormous Stellar Sealions, a pacing Siberian Tiger, the baby animal nursery, and the goofy Orangutans.  I've got a feeling the zoo will become a favorite Saturday afternoon destination.  We love Korea!
