Hanbat Arboretum

Yesterday afternoon Brian and I visited the Hanbat Arboretum, the largest artificial arboretum within a city in Korea.

It’s amazing that such beautiful place full of nature at its best can be found right in the middle of a city!

Throughout the 19 different themed areas, you can see hundreds of different plant species ranging from tropical flowers to coniferous trees.

The paths through the arboretum are quiet and relaxing, allowing you to take in the beauty of the area in a very peaceful setting.

Many people had blankets set out and were enjoying quiet time or having picnics with their families.

The main grassy areas were full of kids playing and along the main pathways, bikers were everywhere (you can even rent bikes there to ride).

In addition to the flower and forest portions of the arboretum, there is also a main stage area set up in the center pavilion where some sort of show (comedy, perhaps) was taking place yesterday.

I wish that more of the flowers had been in bloom yesterday as we could tell that the place was probably even more breathtaking when everything is in full bloom, but regardless, a beautiful place to spend an afternoon!

Mom’s Day

Even though its not Mother’s Day just yet back home, I still want to start today off with the happiest Mother’s Day wish to my mom!

I hope you have a wonderfully relaxing day full of doing the things that YOU want to do…that means it’s Dad’s job to watch Telli all day! 🙂

Breakfast

In an effort to use more of the millet leftovers, breakfast this morning was a bowl full of grains!

Oatmeal with millet, sliced bananas, peanut butter and agave nectar.

Along with a Bombshell Spell to kick start the day.

I’m taking an easy day for my body and calling today an off day so that means its time to hit the books extra early this morning. Woohooo!

Question:

What are you doing to celebrate Mother’s Day for your mom today?
