Highlights of Summer Trip to Gangwon-do

Mostly shot @Ocean World

Indoor and Outdoor Fun

at a Pension we stayed in

...been fun, indeed.hey...the summer's not finished. ..just as yet.

Let's Plunge into the Water Park!

I can't believe that THIS is the ENTRANCE to the water park. It does not look like one. It's more like a Dutch-Style house to me:) But, boy...the green and shady place really hooked me. I loved it. (Having come home from the chilling winter in Seoul...and finding this lush tropical atmosphere...really got me):) 

Even the water park was right beneath the canopies of high trees that functions as shades as well. We enjoy both the sun and the heat and well...splashing fun.

I really wanted to go to the swimming pool of my own..but...I got no other choices ...but to accompany the kids....watching over them (or..taking pictures as usual). 

oh...boy...the swimming pool was like waving its hands to me.

The sky was cloudy at that time..and I felt like...boy..it would've been great if it rained.:)

Patrick? not quite like him, though. 

What a bliss indeed. Spending a great afternoon with the kids in the pool like this really got me excited. Though I was not able to 'swim' at the larger pool...I thought to myself..that it'd be better this way: letting my kids know that I am all for them. 

One of the (call it) coincidences during our trip to the water park was the time when we encountered our aunt and her family. They were about to leave since they'd been there before us.

After having fun in the water, the kids took a walk around the water park. Once again...I was intrigued by the blue water and the green leaves of trees at the backdrop. 

Kids!!! They got a sharp eye on things like this.^^

Swimming during Winter?

Why Not.!
and..that's what exactly what our family did last February at Vivaldi Resort.

Eyra and Freya were excited!! They were already in their swimming suit...as soon as they woke up.^^

It was at first...too good to be true...but as things got clear...I got the idea as where we could enjoy the comfort of swimming in Winter.
It was an indoor water park with warm water!
Now I remember all of the ads I saw on the subways which depict the two-worlds that Vivaldi Park has to offer. People can do both skiing and swimming at one place.










I guess..the better route would be: just do your skiing first, and then end your day with swimming in hot or warm jacuzzi inside the Ocean World...which lies next to the Skiing resort.
What a nice offer it has!












So, Eyra and Freya could not resist the temptation of having to feel the warm water inside this magnificent indoor water park.

I guess...in summer it would not be this special...but, since it was WINTER...it became so memorable!!!

Here is the main gate of the Ocean World!
See the banner? It's a Ski World + Water World in One place.
