Layover in Seoul

We flew out of Cambodia around midnight and landed 5 hours later in Seoul. I was dying to get back home and hold my babies. Kelsey and Briggs had gotten pretty sick while we were gone and it kills me to be away and not be able to help them, especially when they're sick. The problem is there's only one flight that goes out of Seoul to Seattle every day and it wasn't until 7;00 that night. So we had a LOT of time to kill. We found out that the airport did free transit tours for people with long layovers and so we quickly signed up for a 5 hour tour, lunch included. (We actually had to pay $10 a person because of the lunch, but I still think it was worth it!) It took quite a while to get through all the checkpoints and security/customs, etc. to get out of the dang airport. It was a great opportunity for us to see a little bit of the city. I'd certainly never been to South Korea before. We saw 2 different palaces, and walked around the streets for a while, too. We were all SO tired though. Every time we sat down on a bus, or in the airport, all of us would fall asleep (see below). Pure exhaustion that whole trip home. Felt like the trip would never end.
