"See ya round, gotta go,
Sayonara, adios,
Arrivederci,
Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen,
Ciao bella, never change,
Oh mercy mercy.
Don't make me cry.
I got trouble with goodbye."
- Le Ann Rimes

After a wonderful 10 days with my family, they headed back to Texas & South Carolina. Even though our tiny, one-bathroom apartment is not made for a family of 8...it was great having them here. A familiar face can make all the difference in the world in a foreign land!

Our days in Helsinki were filled with walks to our favorite parks, picnics, family dinners, and quality time. We also were able to visit the Serena Indoor/Outdoor Water Park, take a Helsinki sightseeing cruise, and tour the open air markets of the city. They were impressed with the taste of reindeer, perfect summer weather, and the ease of public transportation. At the end of their 10 day vacation, they were comfortable walking the city alone!

Goodbye is always hard, especially knowing we will not see each other again until Christmas. The time will fly too, as it has already!
