Carly went down right at 8 to get us drinks from Starbucks, then we met Chuck and Cherie down there for breakfast.
We went back up to our rooms for a short time then left, headed to old Jeju City. We parked near the coast and walked down to the rock. We then walked up the gorge area and stopped in a park for awhile.
Next, we walked over to the complex of wooden government buildings and took that in.
From there, we walked back west, past where we were parked, to a restaurant on the coast. August fell asleep in the carrier on the way there and we ate while he slept. We got nachos and a caprese salad and shared a fruit plate with Chuck and Cherie. Had a lot of time to read (Leonardo and the Last Supprr). When August woke up after 80 minutes he nursed then ate the food Carly had set aside for him – a lot of the fruit, in particular.
Chuck and Cherie went ant brought back the car. We drove along the coast a little then back to the hotel, where we split up for the rest of the evening.
We went to the room for awhile, then walked a few blocks to the kid cafe. It was outing and windy. We wore our rain gear and I had August in the carrier facing me. We did pretty well, considering, but were a little damp by the time we got there.
We played for about 90 minutes. August loved it. There were so many things to play with. He started crawling under/into things for the first time – he has always been afraid of hitting his head.
When we left, about 6:30, it had stopped raining. We walked down in the vicinity of Lotte Mart, looking for a Pizza Hut, but couldn’t find it. Found a Papa John’s, but it was inexplicably closed. Ended up at Domino’s Pizza across the street. While we waited, August played, mainly on the two steps they have so kids can watch them make pizza.
We walked back to the hotel, stop in along the way to eat a piece of pizza. We ate – August loves pizza – and played for awhile. Around 8:30 he was tired, but he did not want to go to sleep. He did his sad crying, saying ‘more, more’ several times, but eventually went to sleep at 9.
Oh, and the last couple of days I’ve been giving him showers in the morning. Today was the easiest, as I didn’t even hold him. He just stood and played with a Duplo and with the water on the ground while I washed him. And he didn’t complain about getting water in his face.
