Ok, so maybe it’s a plug but thought I’d share since this is one of our favorite burger joints:
This Friday, September 25th marks our 1 Year Anniversary! We’ve had an amazing time with an amazing group of neighbors and patrons and we want to express our thankfulness and gratitude. Beginning Monday, September 21st through our [...]
Still in Seoul on Thursday. We decided to visit one of two palaces in the area. We stopped by the first with the intention of watching the changing of the guard. A very cool ceremony consisting of full dressed guards in time appropriate dress. As we waiting for this show I moved closed to the [...]
Today we bought our train tickets and headed to Seoul. It took us about 3 hours by train which beat the cheap alternative of riding a bus for over 7. Once there we got checked into our value motel and then headed for the South Korean War Museum. The Museum was full of war artifacts, [...]
Today we headed to Gyeongju, Gyeongiu is a major tourist destination for South Koreans as well as foreign visitors. It boasts the 1000 years of Shilla heritage with vast number of ancient ruins and archaeological sites found throughout the city.
We seen many of the Silla sites located in Gyeongju National Park such as the Royal [...]
Today we decided to check out one of Busan’s main beaches, Haeundae. It was really fun to see South Koreans at the beach. A majority of them don’t even appear to have swimsuits on! We even seen one lady in her tube with high heels on. Another man decided he didn’t need swim trunks at [...]
Today we headed to Haedong Yonggung Temple. This temple is unique in that most of the Korean temples are in the hills. Haedong Yonggung is right on the shore of the East Sea. The rock shores and waves crashing down on them make for the perfect backdrop for a beautiful temple. Enjoy the pictures!
Our first day of complete touring. We saw Busan’s largest “fish” market, Busan Tower, Busan South Port and a whole lot of stuff for sale! Read more.
Our first big day as tourists! We put on some serious miles. After hanging out in Guri’s Bar the night before we may have been a little slower than normal, but we stepped up our game and had a great day.
We took our first ride on the Korean subway, pretty much what one would expect [...]
Day 3 found us lost in a huge department store and eating the “wrong” thing! Pictures are from Sarah and I’s try at eating by ourselves at The Korean Style Restaurant, EVERYONE else in the entire restaurant had soup with a little chicken in it except us. We later found out that it is one [...]
Finally made it to South Korean, most of these pictures are of the restaurant that we went to. It was a Korean BBQ style I guess you would say. We ordered Samgyeopsal and cooked it over hot coals. Lots of sides to add to a lettuce leaf and enjoy. The girls thought it was spices [...]
Thought I would share my Cajun Breakfast Hash Recipe. My family loves it, maybe yours will too. Ingredients: 1 Bag Simply Potato Hash Browns 1 Green Bell Pepper (red, orange or yellow are also good) cubed 1/2 Medium Sized Onion – cube – use the whole thing if you don’t care about your breath that day. 6-8 eggs 3/4 lb Ground Spicy Italian Sausage Louisiana Cajun Seasoning – “goes good on everything” 1/4 cup cooking oil Heat up oil, I would say about 1/4 cup, in electric skillet (mine has about the area of a 9 x 11 cake pan). Once it is nice and hot (350 degrees mine says) pour in Simply Potato hash browns and spread them evenly. While those start to brown spread the sausage over the hash browns, I just pull off small size chunks. Next, slice up green pepper and onion into cube sized pieces and spread on hash browns. Sprinkle a decent amount of cajun seasoning over everything. At this time you should be able to turn everything. Now, I add the eggs in... more
4th of July Potato Pancakes What better day than the 4th of July to try a new pancake! Since pancakes are one of the best things ever invented it was time to make use of our leftover mashed potatoes. As usual we didn’t use one potato pancake recipe in particular but took queues from a few different recipes on the Internet, including some ingredients from Paula Deen. Since this was our first try we were worried how they would turn out, but since I make the world’s best pancakes they... more

Last Friday we headed to the 2009 Back to the 50’s Car Show in St. Paul, MN. We paid 10 bucks to get in and I over heard a guy saying it was $25 for the weekend if you had a car which allowed for two people to drive in. Pretty cheap entertainment if you ask me! If you’re into cars at all this is a must see event. There really is something for everyone, custom rat rods, vintage Impalas, chopped Mercs, you name it (as long as it is older than 1964!). The Back to the 50’s Car Show... more
Well, we packed up the kids and dogs last weekend and headed north to go camping at Father Hennepin right off Mille Lacs Lake. It is a beautiful camground and one we will most certainly visit again. We had anticipated rain but went ahead anyway in hopes of the weather man being wrong! (figured our odds were good). We did get one good night and day of camping in and some fishing, no we didn’t catch anything! Then about 2 PM on Saturday it started to sprinkle. We thought we would wait it out... more
Father Hennepin State Park is 2 hours north of Minneapolis St. Paul. The park is situated in the south-east corner of Lake Mille Lacs. We were excited to stay at Father Hennepin as a co-worker had boasted that it was a beautiful park. At Father Hennepin are 2 campgrounds with a total of 103 campsites. You may also rent the group campsite at $30-$75/night The park has 2 shower buildings & 2 restroom buildings. With regular “vault” toilets located throughout the park. Upon arrival we... more
During the day I am a search engine marketer, the rest of the time I am a fun haver.
