Koje

After nearly 3 hours of driving the southern coast we found our destination, the Koje port for Haekumkang. We parked the car and made our way out towards the shore through a winding passage... Amber said she felt like she was in Italy.... clearly I need to take here to Italy:)
The ocean is a beautiful shade of blue it kind of reminded me of Bear Lake in Utah.
The dock was empty except for this old man reading a newspaper so we asked him about the boat tours and he said they had all been canceled due to high waves.... then he asked for me to take a picture of him and Addy.
We decided to make the best of the trip and just enjoy being at the ocean.
The beach was made up entirely of stones. When the waves came in the sound was an amazing mixture of the water and the stones rolling on top of each other.
Addy unfortunately tripped on the pier and landed right on her face. The good thing about this was that daddy got a lot of Addy love:)
Logan was so fun to watch. He has been so stressed out at school and it was fun to see all of that wash away and to see the little boy emerge again. We sat for about an hour counting the waves come in and trying to doge the big ones.


Sometimes, Logan did not quite dodge in time.
My girls.
Next was the rock throwing. Little boys need to throw rocks. Luckily there were millions to throw.
What a kid.
If you look close you can see Addy's road rash.
Me and Logan had a blast trying to skip stones and see if we could hit a buoy.
A street peddler provided us with some waffles with apple syrup.
Here is a picture of the place we wanted to go... maybe next time.
My pal Logan.
Finally found a sturdy bush to hold the camera.
One thing I love about Korea is how much national pride they put into everything. Even the bricks out in front of our apartment have a little peninsula imprinted on them.
As the sun was going down, Addy found a pretty flower.
We are definitely going to try this again.
