Destination: NYON (CH) – YVOIRE (France) Travel Diary: Have you ever tried to travel with a toddler who either accidentally (or on purpose?? mind you…) decides to wreck just about everything (naturally with a little help from his sibling)?

Did I ever mention that I come from Finland? Yes, the country of SNOW and ICE and polar lights. And LONG winters. The country of WINTER SPORTS. The country where every kid learns to SKI and SKATE almost before they can even WALK… Therefore, I find it just a LITTLE BIT disturbing, that my kids …
