This past weekend I went to Sajeongkongweon with Carien, HeyIn, and Karen (my Pastor's wife) to enjoy the cherry blossoms. It is a popular area for people to visit in the spring time. It is located close to the Daejeon O World zoo. It was a beautiful spring day, with lots of pretty flowers, no crowd, and the constant buzz of bees at work in the trees above us (not a problem as long as they stay up there).

Is that a tree? Nope, it's a street lamp designed to blend in with the scenery.
These people are headed out for a "serious" hike. It is the trend here to go all out on hiking gear, even if you're just going for a little walk.

We also saw some beautiful magnolia trees in bloom.
Can you guess what these are? They're air hoses for people to blow the dirt off of their shoes after their hikes.
After our walk, Karen took us out for lunch at the Traditional NoodEL House. Gotta love konglish.
The guy here is making noodles from scratch.
We had bibimbap (mixed rice) for lunch. It's served in a stone bowl that keeps your food hot throughout your whole meal.
We finished off our day with dessert at Krispy Kreme. Yay for yummy kiwi smoothies and doughnuts!!! It's probably a good thing that this place is not open yet when I walk by it every day on the way to work.
Kiwi Smoothies would be a delicious way to start each morning.
