What is a Mökki?
A mökki is a cottage, usually found in the woods or next to a lake.
In Finland, there are approximately 1.8 million mökkis – quite a few if you think there are only 5.5 million inhabitants.

Thanks. The way back was a little easier, but still a frustrating affair.
Our car was full and we only went for a few days 🤣💚

I love the “are we there yet.” It is so universal it sounds like every family trip we ever took. Very funny and true.

Every parent suffers it. I got to hear it in two languages as well. 🤣 They asked both parent the same question expecting a different answer.

You have captured the family vacation experience so very well! We never pulled off the road for food breaks – pulling over meant someone was going to be yanked from the car and spanked!! We always considered rolling down the road to be a good thing!!!

Thank you.
I remember the roadside spankings from my childhood. Can’t get away with that anymore.
