Weekend in Seoul, South Korea

Hello Everyone! 

Last month we were able to spend a long weekend in Seoul, South Korea to reunite with one of Ryan's friends from college. We had a great time exploring the city, eating strange street food and visiting the various markets. It was Xavier's first time in weather below 75 degrees so it was interesting for him to have on all the layers, mittens and hats!

A taste of home for lunch- Taco Bell! 

Xavier had no interest in a cheese quesadilla (and I wouldn't let him!)
Krispy Kreme for dessert

Next Saturday we fly out to the states for Christmas and can't wait for everyone to meet Xavier over the holidays! If you're around Milwaukee or Iowa during that time let us know and we would love to meet up!
