"Woo woo...
Come on ride the train, hey ride it...
It's the choo choo...
I think I can, I think I can
I think I can, I think I can..."

We took our first official train ride today to a small village 96 km southwest of Helsinki called Tammisaari. The boys loved the train ride. We had a family cabin the first leg of the trip. It is an enclosed area with 4 seats in a semi-circle, 2 child friendly stools, and a TV.
The town dates back to 1546 as a trading village. There are quite a few wooden houses and a stone church well preserved. We were hoping to take a bus to the nearby Raseborg Castle but found out they only run on weekdays. We settled for a picnic, playing at the local park, touring the main street, and dipping our toes into the Baltic Sea...WOW! Then the cold front blew in with a few showers, so we decided to take an early train home. Just in time to prepare for ANOTHER freeze this week.
