Busan

We were heading to Busan to visit the aquarium, but after our 90 minute bus ride took 3 hours and 10 minutes we decided to just spend the day on the beautiful beach.

The kids thought it was so cool that they were splashing in the Sea of Japan.  I guess that IS pretty cool!

We are standing in a park with the Nurimaru APEC House (the UFO shaped building) and a georgeous bridge that is nicknamed Diamond Bridge.    

There is a boardwalk that spans the entire coastal area, and suspensions bridges that span gaps in the rocks.

The city of Busan is behind us.  It is very westernized, and almost every franchise we have in the US is present in Busan.  We saw TGIFridays, Bennigans, Outback, Starbucks, Popeyes, Dunkin Donuts, and Gary and the kids had burgers from BK!

This lighthouse looks over Suyeongman Bay. 

We bought popsicles from a street vendor... we could guess strawberry, but what are the others??? we aren't sure but it looks like cauliflour, dirt, pea, and cardboard... at times like this we wish we could read Korean!

We almost felt like we were back in the 321!

Just love this!

You would  not want to be a crab in this harbor!

Crossing back over the bridge.

There is a whole story that goes along with this statue about mermaids... Lily was enthralled.

Much more fun than the aquarium... just digging in the sand...  ahhhhhh....
BTW... if you see my dad wish him a Happy 73rd Birthday!  LOL!  love you all!  xoxoxoxo
