this building used to be a cotton factory in tampere, but now it is one of the heavenly places to go in the winter time. jukka's parents happen to be members of the club and get to spend a week in here. and we were lucky to be invited to join them.
we got a ride from leena and dani. the almost 2-hour drive to (especially from) tampere was so entertaining. although i slept for some minutes of it (what can i do? i just love to sleep when traveling!) it was snowing when we came to tampere and it felt so nice to be swept away by the wind and snow when getting out of the car.
Mummo was so happy that the family was almost complete this year. the apartment was full of laughter and chit-chats. and of course, it was more fun when we all went to the sauna and pool. i even tried the "avanto" five times. there's nothing more refreshing than dipping into a 4- degree pool of water.
after indulging into too much coffee, minna's homemade laskiaispulla (oh, so delicious!), candies and chips and chats, we took off for a 2-hour drive back home.
i had so much fun this day, something that i will always have in my memory. even if i get alzheimer's someday, i wish that today's memories won't vanish.
...and to wrap the day, i made a snow angel. it had been snowing in lahti while we were gone and i figured it was just the perfect time to make a snow angel.
