Our Family Union at the Monterey Bay in CA The destination of our three thousand mile trip by train was Monterey Bay Beach where our five grandchildren, three children, son-in-law and daughter-in-law were waiting. The destination of our life journey has always been our family union for many years. Ever since our adult children moved away, our family union has always been such special rewards for Sukjoo and me that sometime ago we indeed realized that our family union is the destination of our life journey in the ever fast moving time-travel ship. Every day, every hour, and every minute of those seven days was a special blessing by the Good Lord for each of us. It seems obvious that every one of our five grandchildren is telling that to their parents and grandparents by the way they are playing and behaving. God always has a way telling the truth through the little ones, children. Three of us, who have birthdays in July, including one granddaughter, Gabrielle, age 10, our oldest son, Harkmore, age 44 and myself, age 71, celebrated our birthdays together. "Oh, Good Lord, we thank you for everything !" Every one of those seven days was bright and sunny and was full of fun, smiles and laughter all of us needed so much before all of us return to the demanding daily grind. It was clear to Sukjoo and me that the only thing left for us to do for the rest of our lives is to pray for our children and grandchildren. We always pray for them that they stay on the path guided by the bright light of our Good Lord. Once again, as my wife and I have experienced many times in the past, we were surprised by the fact that we can be made such happy, contented grandparents by each one of our five grandchildren whenever we're with them. These pictures are only a few moments out of those seven days, which Sukjoo and I would like to share with you, our friends on this page. horse shoe game Monterey Aquarium The Art of Nature, Jelly Fish Sea Dragon Sea Horse Succulent Garden Text by Hahn Joong Lee, Webpage by Sukjoo |

아... Wonderful !!
첫번의 사진은 마치 어느 old movie의 환상적 할아버지와 손녀들의 만남처럼 보입니다.
왜 그럴가? 머나먼 길로 찾아온 할아버지와 소중한 손녀들...
이번 여행의 기분을 잘 표현한 사진입니다.
글도 훌륭하고 좋지만 사진 한장이 얼마나 "만남"의 정서를 잘 알려주는지....
손자, 손녀들이 지척에 사는 본인의 경우와는 달리,
Dr. Lee부부의 오랫동안 못보다가 만나는 기회가 더 감명스럽겠지요.
석주 님;
이 webpage는 너무 좋은데, 기차여행의 Reply webpage로
깊은곳에 감춰두기는 아깝고, 완전히 독립된 하나의 webpage로 하시는게 좋을것 같습니다.
comment가 이미 많이 붙어서 석주님이 하시기는 힘들것 같은데, 좋으시다면 본인이 바꿀수있읍니다.
석주 님께서 PhotoBucket을 잘 이용하시니 다행입니다.

가족들의 즐거운 만남을 share 해주셔서 감사합니다.
행복한 모습을 보는 저희들의 마음도 흐믓해집니다.
저희들의 아이들도 대륙의 반대편에 있으니
가끔 만나는 순간 순간이 얼마나 소중하고 귀한가를 잘 알고있습니다.

Thank you, Sukjoo-nim, for your reply.
The reason I asked you was I thought I was there
with my friend, Dr. K who is living in Fresno.
And I visited Pebble Beach G.C and came home
with a viser, instead of playing golf on the course.
But I remember the area was one of the most beautiful
places I've ever been. Thanks.

Family gathering같이 기쁜일이 세상에 어디있겠습니까.
한중형의 환한 웃음이 증명하고도 남지않나요?
좀 늦은감이 있지만 고희되신것 축하드립니다.
석주님과 손녀사진도 일품입니다. 규정
