Namsan Tower (Seoul Tower) has been on our list the whole trip, but we could never find clear directions on how to get there, but with our last few hours, we decided to face the challenge and just go for it. Todd figured out how to get there and it wasn't bad until we had to climb what felt like a 90 degree angled mountain up to the cable car that would take us up Namsan Mountain.
We were so happy (and out of breath) when we saw the sign for the cable car. We went in, bought our ticket, and waited in a very long line to head up the mountain. Once we got off of the cable car, there were the prettiest views of the city. Seoul is crazy large, like I cannot even explain the size of this city!
The reason we wanted to go to Namsan Tower (other than the views) is to put Lyla's love lock on the bridge there. Namsan Tower is famously known for a place where you can take a love lock and add it to their bridges that are covered with locks that symbolize a forever love. We took our lock with the promise that Lyla Grace is forever our daughter and we will be back as soon as we are allowed to bring her home with us!
Then we headed back down to meet our transfer at the hotel. But first, we walked the streets around our hotel one more time and tried a few more street food delicious treats. We walked a block back to our hotel, grabbed our luggage, and headed to the airport.
We had an uneventful flight, although we totally failed at trying to stay awake (and are now paying for it in the jetlag department.) And were so happy to be back home and with our favorite 3 year old! When Madilynn woke up and saw that we were home she just hugged us and laid in my lap for the longest time, as we all had the biggest smiles. We missed each other so very much and are so ready to have our missing piece home in about a month.
