"Daddy!!!" (or Hannah Jane does Korea)

In mid-April, Hannah Jane and I were lucky enough to fly to Seoul to see Rick for a few days -- what a great time! Seoul was beautiful, believe it or not (its a changed city since the Olympics I understand), and we just had such an amazing time touring and visiting with "my daddy!" (as Hannah Jane exclaimed when she saw him in the airport). Rick and Hannah Jane got good Daddy/daughter time in, and I got good mommy/Rick time in -- win/win! We stayed in a very nice hotel (with a spa on the first floor...weee!) which we used to tour from -- around the city one day, to the zoo, and even to the DMZ! The pictures are the best storyteller.........

Hannah Jane in her "touring perch" at historic village in downtown Seoul (the weather was beautiful, with all the cherry blossoms and azaleas in bloom)

Rick and Hannah Jane look out from Seoul Tower onto the city (btw, Misawa is 1/1000000 the size of what you see here....Just a note for anyone planning to visit....)

In front of largest palace in downtown Korea (yes, people take goofy pictures standing right next to the guards, who are suppose to stand still and look forward not smiling. See our much more dignified photo below)
(OK, maybe just cuter....)

This was one of the only shots we were allowed on our tour of the DMZ. We'd just crawled out of a tunnel the north Koreans had dug out supposedly with the idea of invading South Korea. We were allowed to walk, bent down with hard hats on (even Hannah Jane) through 260 meters of the passage -- unfortunately our camera had to be locked away first. This was the carnival-type food sold outside the zoo -- stewed shells and steamed bugs. MMMmm.....

That's about all the fun photos from Korea -- thanks for tuning in, and be sure to check back for more adventures of Hannah Bear!
