Finley's First "Steps" on America Soil

No, we haven't returned to the States...yet.  We simply took Finley to the US Embassy, which is technically considered American soil.  The purpose for our trip was to apply for Finley's passport, Social Security Number, and official birth registration, just in case the "birthers" ever question his presidential candidacy.  (And, yes, he can become president if he wants: see Title 8 of the US Code which clarifies the meaning of "natural born citizen").  Anyway, we've got to get Finley's passport in time for us to head back to the States at the end of June.

Finn behaved great, sleeping through most of the trip.
He wouldn't even wake up long enough to raise his right hand and swear that the information on his application was true, so we had to do it on his behalf.  We weren't allowed to take our cameras in, naturally, so we didn't get many pictures, just this shot of me cheesing it up at the entrance:

Nice job with the umbrella, Austin

Afterwards, we decided to do a little sightseeing with Finn.  Unfortunately, the weather wasn't so cooperative.

We ended up in Insadong at our favorite Korean restaurant. Yum!

Yummy banchan!

Not sure who's cuter here

Looks like someone else wants some gochujang!

Unfortunately, the gochujang (hot pepper paste) that Victoria put on her bibimbap came back to haunt us.  Finley spent a few hours screaming that evening, we assume from the spicy food he got via Victoria.  Lesson learned!

On the way home, Finley also got his first ride on the Seoul subway.

Still sleeping... whew!
