So we just got back from the glorious Jeju Island, famed for its "stone, women, and wind." And it did not disappoint. Jeju is basically Warren's and my dream come true--it's like RoadsideAmerica, Korean style. Our most heroic move was renting a car, which Warren drove like a champ.

We visited an ancient nutmeg forest and took the obligatory heart shaped rock photo to add to our growing collection:
And of course we had to pull over to check out the roe deer wonderland. Warren was definitely a deer whisperer:

Last but not least, we devoured some sea cucumber freshly picked (and slaughtered) by the island's amazing haenyo, or women divers:
When I grow up, I want to be just like her:
