My mother-in-law is celebrating her birthday this year. So, since before, I have been saving money with my sister-in-law, and we saved quite a bit, so we decided to go travel somewhere and suddenly left for Jeju.
It was decided in a hurry, so we hurriedly made the reservation.
I booked the flight with Eastar Jet because it was cheap.
Since Cheongju Airport is close to home, we went to Cheongju Airport, which was an excellent choice.
Cheongju Airport is small.
About the size of Seoul Station, maybe?
I was surprised to see how small it was after only looking at Incheon Airport.
Still, it was cleaner than Gimpo Airport.
This was the first time Yan-suh was on a plane, so I was really nervous.
I was worried he would act out and cry on the plane, it felt like I was about to throw up.
As expected, he started whining on the plane, and I started sweating.
But he fell asleep before the plane took off, haha.
Nice son!
Yansuh did not wake up until we got off the plane.
He snoozed in dad’s arms.
You are a very good son.
I didn’t have enough time to prepare breakfast in the morning, so I fed him two hot dogs in the car, and when we arrived at the plane, I gave him water and milk,
Maybe because I didn’t heat the milk,
he didn’t eat well.
Was Yansuh nervous because it was his first time flying as well?
The flight was slightly delayed and departed late, but thanks to the white noise, Yansuh fell asleep.
I really came more comfortably than I thought.
I hope he sleeps like this on the way home too ㅜ
As soon as we arrived in Jeju, the first thing we saw was
rainy weather.
It rained heavily, so I couldn’t take Yansuh to ride the free rental car bus.
My father-in-law and husband went to get the car, but
It was a disaster.
They said there was an accident on the way and the traffic was heavy.
So unexpectedly, I had to wait at the airport for 2 hours with my husband and father-in-law.
Waiting with my mother-in-law.
I arrived at the airport at 11:30, but I met my husband at 1:30, haha. Waiting for 2 hours was boring,
I thought I was going to lose it with Yansuh around, haha.
The little one couldn’t sit still for a moment,
He was so fidgety
That when I held him, he tried to wriggle away
Now my whole body aches.
Once I put him down, he was uncontrollable.
In the end, I had no choice but to hold his hat and control him.
Yansuh dragging his mom around, haha!
Oh, it was so hard.
Is this feeling of exhaustion before the trip what it means to tire out?
Yansuh seems not to get tired at all,
I walked all day long
And now he has started to pull the suitcase.
The suitcase weighed 28 kilos,
But it felt like 100 kilos, it was so heavy.
He was pulling it with great effort, haha.
He kept sending the suitcase in the wrong direction,
So I had to pull it back, which was quite a task.
In the end, it got too hard, so I put him in a stroller.
He screamed because he didn’t want to ride.
I was shouting, but it didn’t matter at all.
I just let it go.
Haha, riding in a stroller made it a little easier.
After waiting for two hours, my husband and father-in-law finally arrived,
And my mother-in-law and I could finally board the rental car.
I was already worn out before the trip and kept dozing off.
The first day of the Jeju trip came with rain.
I heard some areas had heavy snowfall.
But the rain
And the snow
Gave off a nice atmosphere, right?
I was so hungry that I headed straight to a restaurant.
