Cherry Blossoms, Seokchon Lake, Seoul

Getting out during the weekends with the kids takes serious efforts!
How I wish we could leave home quickly and travel more.

Finally, last Sunday, wanted to go to the Seoul Children's Grand Park(having never been there all these years). As my luck would have it, after driving 40 km I realized that there is no way I could enter the park- parking was full and just too many cars waiting. To top it, the crowd was unimaginable! Apparently, that day was the best to watch cherry blossoms in full bloom, and looked like the whole country had descended there.

Hating crowds the way I do, decided to return home...On the way, near Lotte World, was Seokchon Lake...change of plans and we wanted to atleast look at the cherry blossoms.


As I should have expected, there were more people than flowers in the path encircling the lake!
Probably,people in Korea love taking pictures the most!!! One of the bad things of the smartphone era, is that people are more concerned with clicking pictures than enjoying the moment...
Just too many selfie rods around me!

Took a few pictures. And, ticked off the to-do list of watching cherry blossoms this year. mission accomplished!
