Thankfully, we've become good friends with our Korean co-worker Christina. She invited us to join her and her family (husband and two middle school-aged sons) on a trip to the Arboretum on June 2nd, which we had off of school because of the voting day holiday.
The Arboretum is situated in the Gwangneung forest, which surrounds a mausoleum for a king from the Joseon Dynasty. The forest has been strictly managed to minimize human disturbance over the past 500 years. The Arboretum has 15 specilaized plant gardens, a forest museum, a forest zoo, a herbarium and a seed bank.
After taking in all the beauty of this natural sight we headed down the road for a very traditional meal.
We feel so blessed for the opportunity to embrace so much culture and have others share with us like they do.

Great pics! I found out if I click on them twice they enlarge twice. Even better. What a blessing to have good friends in the Korean community.
