Isabel - First Family Outing



A little over a week ago I was dieing to get out of the house and enjoy some of the summer that had seem to come before it disappeared, as summer can quickly disappear in Finland.

It was a beautiful day and we had finally got the sleeping giant down for a nap.
But where should we go??? Greg suggested a town by the water, called Tammisaari, which was about an hour away. An hour drive sounded reasonable, so Greg packed up the pram and we headed off.

Here Greg has got the pram re-assembled
and Isabel is still sleeping quietly away.

Ok, let's find some place to have lunch! We decided to head towards the water and this little town was really cute and peaceful.



















I saw all the people enjoying sunbathing and swimming and I would have loved to join them, but I am not a Finn yet and the thought of the cold water sent a shiver down my spine and kept my clothes on.


We made it down by the end of the harbor and found a cute little place that overlooked the water and had ourselves a homemade pizza.
Greg said it was a pretty far drive to go to a harbor to have pizza, especially when we have a cute little harbor right down our street. But it was nice to go to a new town and see a part of Finland that I haven't seen before. Plus it was a big step in going out with the baby, since it was a nice experience and she slept the whole time. :-)
It let me know that you can go out with the baby and it can be nice.

Yea!!!!!!!!!!! So glad you all did that. Do it EVERY chance you can get before she starts crawling. MUCH easier before then.
You look wonderful!
