June 8, 2014Filed in: Food, Photos & Video by Tara Shubbuck

Pyynikki Donuts

1. Donuts in Tampere, Finland When we were in Tampere, Finland, we went to the Pyynikki Observation Tower not for its views, but for its donuts that our Finnish friend from Helsinki raved about.

Cherry Blossom 10-Miler Race Bibs

When it comes to good habits I picked up on the road, the majority of them apply to health and nutrition. It is a strange thing to zero in on, but since returning to the United States, I have taken a closer look at what we eat, how much we eat and even the ingredients Read Post

It ended up being one of our favorite regions we visited during Read Post
