Lofgrens Abroad

Holy smokes you guys... It's really happening... I am currently lying on our bed, the only place in the house to sit, aside from the toilet 😂 but I thought the bed was more fitting for a blog post 💁🏻‍♀️. So, here I am. We are still not done but we are so so close. And we are actually fitting everything we want to bring in our bags and almost everything we've wanted to keep in storage. It's surprising how much stuff we've accumulated even in this small house. This was our first move with two kids though so that makes a difference but still... We are so tired.

AND don't feel like you have to base it around our time off because you can always explore during the day and then we can see you after school or over the weekend! We are also so excited to be in a regular school curriculum with regular vacation days which will not only help with avoiding burnout but also allow for more traveling around the country and allowing for visitors! Yay! That being said, here are the dates we have off from school: September 24-28 (Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving) October 3 (Foundation Day) December 17-January 3 (Christmas break) February 4-8 (Lunar New Year) March 1 (Independence Day) April 1-5 (Spring Break) May 20-24 (Half-Term Break) July 5: Last day of scho...
