Anniversary/Valentine's/Babymoon weekend

This past weekend Michael and I went to Seoul for a special weekend.  We were celebrating our two year wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, and our babymoon.  We stayed in a hotel in one of our favorite areas, Hongdae.  The room was quite small but it had a bathtub big enough for my very pregnant self to fit into and relax.  It was awesome.  I did not take any pictures the whole weekend so here is a picture from the hotel website of our room.

 

 



We checked in on Valentine's Day at night after eating dinner in Itaewon.  We had some very yummy Mexican food at Los Amigos.  I love all the good food choices in Itaewon and Los Amigos is one of the better Mexican food places that doesn't cost a ton to eat at.  After checking in we just relaxed in our hotel room and I enjoyed the wonderful tub.  The only problem was that the bed was extremely hard and my body was not happy, especially my hips, and I didn't sleep that well.

The next day we got up and walked a couple miles to eat lunch at another one of our favorite places, Spacca Napoli.  This place is owned by a Korean-American who studied culinary arts in Italy.  It's a wood oven pizza place and the food is amazing.  It was so worth the walk. 

 

 

After lunch we took the train back to the hotel and relaxed a little.  My hips have been hurting a lot lately so too much walking is not really possible right now.  After a short nap and some time watching the winter Olympics we decided to head out again to see what we could find for dinner.  We had some Indian food by our hotel and then decided to get a massage.  Massages in Korea are very reasonably priced and Mike and I both got hour long massages for less than $100 total.  Mike got a full body sports massage and I got a neck, shoulders, back, and foot massage.  It was very relaxing and a great way to end our day.  After our massages we went back to our room and I took another glorious bath.  We checked out on Sunday morning and headed to the base in Seoul.

 

On base we ate brunch at the Hartell house and it was so good.  Do you see a pattern here?  Lots of eating was done on this trip.  I am in love with eating these days.  After brunch we went over to the hospital to take a tour of labor and delivery.  We asked a lot of questions because I'm starting to get really anxious about labor and becoming a mom.  I can't wait but at the same time I'm not ready yet.  It could be any day now according to the nurse we saw.  The hospital is pretty small but it's still very nice.  I felt comfortable there and am not worried about delivering there at all. 

 

 

That was the end of our trip to Seoul for the weekend.  We came back home after touring the hospital and I spent Monday doing homework and house cleaning.  That is pretty much the story of my life these days.
