Kid-friendly family vacation in Finland

Image
Hey there! What a hot week it's been so far as temperatures rise up to 30 degrees - in Finland! Not bad at all we'll be vacationing mainly in Finland this except for the short trip to Estonia next month. (Read more about that trip here . We just booked a cabin for a week through  Lomarengas  and I could not be happier! Mid-summer at grandparents cabin  The cabin is just 2 hours away from my in-laws cabin, where we happened to spent the mid-summer festival last weekend. Or let me just call it a normal weekend with the family, not so much a festival ;) it was the first time since corona-limitations we've actually spent time with the grandparents again. And they're huuuuge help for us, no doubt about it!! So next month we're going back to their cabin, which is about 3 hours away from our home, to spend a few days there. It's awesome there with kids: they can swim all day, go fishing and just run around naked all day long :) Grandparents also make all the meals whic

Summer vacation ideas with Ikaalisten matkatoimisto

June is here and it's time to think about summer vacation ideas in Finland and in baltics.  Ikaalisten matkatoimisto  has once again the best valued summer vacation and in general travel ideas for my family, mainly in Estonia since we're not  travelling far away from Finland this summer. We've usually stayed in Tallinn in a spa-hotel which is perfect with kids. There aren't too many outdoor playgrounds in Tallinn but our kids need activities and therefore a spa with kiddy pools are a must :) and mommy & daddy like Estonia so it's a match ;) Ikaalisten matkatoimisto  Ikaalisten matkatoimisto has many spa-hotels in their selection varying from family-friendly to more luxurious ones, and our top-choice over the years has been Meriton conference & spa hotel. We always travel to Estonia via a ferry so it's either a Viking Line or Silja Line and it takes usually from 2-3 hours from Helsinki to Tallinn. Meriton conference & spa hotel is about 30 min walk fr
