Here and there but not quite everywhere!
We decided to head out to the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens again today, just like last Saturday! There was quite a bit new as many displays were setup for the annual Winter Walk of Lights. Some plants have been removed to make room, though there was still plenty to see. But, unlike last week, we didn’t see a single Eastern Bluebird! We did find a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker though, something we haven’t seen very often!

We decided to visit the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens this weekend as the weather was forecast to be pretty good. It was a bit questionable on our way there but the skies cleared quickly! We saw quite a variety of flowers, as usual, and many birds. In particular, there seemed to be Eastern Bluebirds everywhere! Later on in the afternoon, we visited the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Regional Park in Leesburg for the first time.

We visited the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Fairfax County, Virginia twice this week, once on Saturday at sunrise and again on Sunday in the afternoon. Although there wasn’t an impressive sunrise, we did see plenty of flowers and birds. We even found a Swainson’s Thrush, a species we’ve never seen before. We also managed to find Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds on both days.

After waking up at the RYSE, we had our usual breakfast and went out to take a walk around Hongdae as well as had one final snack before checking out. We then took the train to Incheon to fly home to the US.

After our usual breakfast at the RYSE, we took the bus to the western end of Seoullo 7017. From there, we walked to the east to the Namdaemun Market where we had lunch. We then saw the actual Namdaemun and took a bus east to the Myeongdong Cathedral. We walked through Myeongdong a bit before visiting Seonyudo Park and returning to Hongdae for dinner.
