Europe 2015 – July 17th

This was our last day with the family before we headed to Helsinki for a few days. We had a quiet morning and I took a few more shots of our cottage surroundings.

Here’s our rental car and the outhouse!

Our outing on this day was the military museum. It was definitely a hit with the kids.

The highlight for me was seeing a real Enigma!

After the museum, we had lunch and went back at Arto and Tarja’s house. We met the two remaining Lumme siblings and watched a fun documentary on Finnish saunas. Finally, we were ready to hit the road, so we said our goodbyes to our wonderful hosts. It didn’t take long before Finn (and his Muumi) were asleep.

We successfully navigated our rental car return and found our hotel in Helsinki. We had dinner at a deli across the street and took baths before pulling the blackout curtains shut. We slept soundly until 8:30 the next morning, which was a miracle after many early mornings.
