First day in Aland was spend at the cottage. We arrived on the boat around 2:30 and after a quick stop at the store, arrived at the cottage 45 minutes later. Along the way, there were so many darling, well kept houses and yards. The locals speak Swedish and everything around us is in Swedish.
We explored the beach, which is way windy. Eerika was brave enough to get her swim suit on twice and play in the water and sand. I was huddled in my hoodie on the dock. We explored the nearby woods. We grilled some makkara for dinner. Ukki did some mountain biking.
Aleksi fell asleep at 6:30 in my arms. That is how tired he was. All of us fell asleep as I was telling a good night story. I don't know in what order people fell asleep but within minutes everyone was snoring.
We all slept until the morning. No, we didn't sleep all through the night. Eerika had an accident (very atypical), Saku was up twice and looking for the bathroom in his sleepy stupor (kind of typical), Aleksi was up twice BUT went back to sleep until 6:50 which felt like a victory.
The beds are comfortable, which is huge.
