Part of being parents to our beautiful babies includes celebrating their birth culture. We loved our time in Korea and are always seeking ways to celebrate this wonderful country.
In Korea, Chuseok is one of the year’s most important holidays – it’s a fall harvest festival very much like our Thanksgiving in the United States. It's also a time to honor ancestors and the relatives who bore the hardship of life to give a better life for their children. Most people are familiar with the Mid-Autumn Festival, or the Moon Festival, which is similar to Chuseok and observed in many Asian countries like China, Japan, and Vietnam. This year Chuseok was September 21st - September 23rd.
We were all too sick this week to really do much, so we waited until everyone was feeling better. Saturday offered the perfect opportunity to enjoy a special Korean meal in celebration of Chuseok! We are lucky to live close to Hoban's, a wonderful Korean restaurant in Eagan. Everyone enjoyed the bulgogi, the bibimbap, and of course, the kimchi.
