Preparations…for only 18 hours of celebrating, feasting, playing and catching-up {and 10 hours in traffic and boarder crossing}!!!
I am so thankful for all the technology that makes road trips, traffic and boarder crossings a little less torturous!!!
Celebrating with the Skinners made it all worth it!!!
Finland is so fun, relaxing and gorgeous!!! I am so thankful for a night in a fabulous cabin, amazing friends…that feel more like family, grass, kids playing in the street…safely, laughter, memories!!!
A FIRST~On the way home we picked up our first ever hitchhikers!!! A tour bus had broken down at the boarder and an older couple asked us for a ride back to Saint Peterburg. They were first loves in school, were separated when he joined the army and reconnected 33 years later!!! He is a Neurologist and she is a Social Worker in the biggest Psychiatric Residential Center in Russia. They bought us chocolates and gave us money for the ride {which made me feel less bad for spending so much money at the fabulous Finnish grocery store}!!!
