For Maariti, relaxation consists of exercise and rest in a suitable ratio, as well as good food and drink.
Maariti's absolute treat is ice cream and fresh strawberries.
It has already become a tradition for Maarit to visit her sister's family in North Ostrobothnia at a summer cottage in July. Kesämökki is the grandparents' old farm by the lake, with a wonderful barrel sauna in the yard. Spending time includes playing with a big group and jumping on a trampoline. Some good food is prepared in the barbecue shed and karaoke is sung in the old hay shed.
Asmo mainly spends the summer in Finland. Most of the time is spent at the cabin in Sulkava, and in addition, short trips to different parts of Finland.
In the summer, he is most definitely looking forward to a relaxed stay without any schedules.
