Bermuda, Bahamas come on pretty mama...

Here are some pics from Bermuda! There are still a lot more but I want to go to bed and it's taking forever for the pics to load. They're not in any particular order, I just kind of threw them up here. I tried to caption them the best I could. We had an amazing time! It was so nice to be alone with Trevor and not worry about the kids. Big thanks to mom and Dara for watching the girls!! Thank you so much. Bermuda was great but we both agree that the cruise was waaaayyy cooler. I'll write more about it later, but here are some pics and info to get you started!





Really cool fruit sculptures the chefs did at the midnight buffet. Yes, that's right midnight people. We had amazing chicken fajitas pool side and then followed up with a dance party. Well, I followed up with dancing, Trevor watched.

Sea lion with Trevor's glasses.

Pretty pink flower. This was my attempt at photography.


The hotel we would've lied and said we were staying in had anyone asked. We were on a "members only" beach. Oops.


Walking along Elbow beach. We didn't find out until after the fact that it's a private beach. Oops.




More pretty pics.


Here we are in Hamilton, Bermuda's capital. We thought we would just take the ferry and wander and be our own tour guides. It didn't really work out that well. We walked all over Hamilton and I was a little scared. There were lots of people and buses and cars. They drive on the other side of the road so crossing the street scared the bejeezus out of me.


Here's Trevor.

A nice scene from our balcony when we were docked in Bermuda.

Trevor in an empty phone booth.


Look how blue the water is! I've never seen anything like it. Crystal blue water and white sand beaches. Gorgeous!


Pretty pic.


This building with the clock towers used to be the Royal Navy yard. Now it's a mall with great shopping!

Each night Putu folded a towel animal and put out or Compass for the next day. The Cruise Compass told us everything that was going on for that day, where we would be the next day, and weather and stuff like that. It was a very handy little packet.



Here I am eating duck for the first time ever. I loved it!


Here we are at formal dinner night. People confused Trevor with an employee of the cruiseline wearing that uniform.

I love this shot. The pool deck. People still swam and hot tubbed even though it was about 60 degrees and very windy the whole time.


We opted for lounge chairs. It was so relaxing to just sit and read or sleep and watch the water. There were waiters who walked around taking drink orders. There was a drink of the day too. They were all very festive (and alcoholic so we didn't have any) looking.


If you look really hard in the middle of the picture you can see a blueish-green thing. That's the Statue of Liberty. Pretty cool.



A couple of pics of our room. We had a suite which was saweeeettt. The private balcony was my very favorite part!


Trevor relaxing. We had just gotten into our room and he was reading our itinerary. This little sitting area was nice too.

The view from our balcony in Bayonne, NJ. If you really strain you can see Trev's pick up in the way back corner of the lot;)

Bayonne was in my mission. One of my zones, actually, though it was an Elders area so I never servd there. But yeah. Sad that the picture of Bayonne and the Statue of Liberty were my favorite parts of your cruise. I guess the rest made me entirely too jealous. Glad you had such a great time.
