day 193 of 365 | the life of Joanna Marie

back to reality!

😁

 

daddy and i spent the weekend in Tallinn. it's a good thing that i had a free weekend from work. so, he booked a trip for us. 

just the two of us.

no Fasu. no Amanda.

sometimes, it's just wonderful to travel without the kids 😄

it was rainy and windy when we arrived in Tallinn. it was about 10 in the evening when we got out of the ship. we had to drive many times around the city because there was a tram accident. and the accident area was in that only road where we can get to the hotel. but it was nice to drive around the city and see the old houses. 

the next morning, it was still raining cats and dogs when we checked out. daddy bought some stuffs for work. then, we visited the house of one of his old friends. we also met his kids. i even got a drawing from them 💓

we checked in to another hotel on saturday evening. i love that hotel. it's quite modern and had a cozy feel to it. and the thing that i love the most is that they have a library. they have very interesting books on display there. i would love to stay there longer and read all their books.

daddy and i walked to the city to have dinner. it was so nice to just chill with him. our tummies were so full after dinner, and it helped that we had to walk for about 2km back to the hotel. 

on sunday, we had a nice breakfast at the hotel. then, we met the family of daddy's friend. they were nice and warm. the kids were also nice. one of their daughters, Janely was even holding hands with me while we were wandering around the tv tower. she gave me more of her drawings, too! and when we said goodbye to them, she looked so sad and wanted to take me home with them 😁

we were back in Lahti around 10:30 in the evening. i just put some of our stuffs away and crawled to bed. 

i set my alarm to 4:17 am. i had to get up to pee in the middle of the night. i checked the time on the radio and it was 3:40. i went back to bed thinking that i still have time to get more sleep. the next time i woke up, the time on the radio was 4:40. i got up quickly and wondered why my alarm didn't wake me up! when i checked the time on my phone, it was only 3:40...you see...daylight saving time...the time changed last sunday...😪
