Exploring some of SoKo's treasures

So March is an extremely busy month for me in terms of visitors. My sisters were here March 7th-14th and Jac will be here March 26-April 2nd. I love that my family and friends are able to come and visit me and share in this experience with me. With that being said, I decided I better get my own butt in gear and do some more exploration before everyone arrived, so it would be easier for me to give recommendations and logistics. First I took to a couple of palaces.
There are 5 main palaces in Seoul. So, on a bit of a chilly Saturday afternoon, I set out to explore a couple. I went to Gyeongbok-gung and Deoksu-gung. The palaces are amazing!! I love to look at the architecture and the colors are so vibrant. I set out hoping to catch at least one of the changing of the guards, which happens every 2 hrs. at Gyeongbok-gung and 4 times daily at Deoksu-gung. I was able to work it out that I saw the changing of the guard at both palaces, which was really awesome. The palaces are within walking distance of each other, so it gave me a nice chance to see a little more of Seoul.
