Home from Grandma Duty

A few days ago I returned home from my fourth trip to Seoul, South Korea to visit my daughter, Stephanie, and her family.  I arrived on the 11th, just hours after she gave birth to her daughter, Emmalyn Elizabeth Puffenbarger, "Emma" for short.

 I found my way from the airport to the airport bus 6030, to the Capitol Hotel, and then walked to my daughter's home where my grandson, Marc was waiting with a babysitter.  The babysitter went home and quickly I was thrust into "grandma duty" - assuming primary care of this silly little boy that began entertaining me immediately.

 We bonded over breakfast every morning, as my primary goal for this trip was to be a help to their family during this transition.

I did get out for a few new experiences (ice skating with rusty skates, driving in Seoul), and returned to familiar haunts for favorite souvenirs.
