Tere tulemast (Warmly Welcome) to Tallinn!

We spent the last two weeks in Estonia. We had incredible weather and an incredible time. We stayed outside of Tallinn in a hostel and we traveled into the city center to see the Old Town and to go to all the museums. While we were there they were having a Tallinn Old Town Days festival with all kinds of cultural concerts and markets. We had a blast.

We rented a car for a weekend and drove around Estonia (its not a very big country). We went to the beach, to the national park, castle ruins, and checked all kinds of country side. Once again Cam took some awesome pictures and once again I waited (not so patiently) while he was taking those awesome pictures.

At the Rakvere Medieval attraction at an old castle. I think we wore the kids tunics, oops. We had fun playing with the sword and shield replicas and checking out the torture chamber.
