Bermuda

Going back and editing these photos have been kinda hard. I miss being on vacation and being together with family in a beautiful place. However, I'm so glad we got to go and have the memories. 
----
We are grateful that we had Brandon's parents and brothers along with us. They are so good with the boys and are just a joy to be around. A big thanks to them and making the trip so wonderful!

We docked at Bermuda for 3 days and so we got to explore the incredibly, beautiful area.

On our last day on Bermuda we rented a Cabana right by the ocean. It couldn't have been more perfect. We were able to go snorkeling in the ocean, come back and swim in a pool and then when the boys got tired we could let them rest in the Cabana. That was the way to go, for sure!

Bermuda    
As you can see, Bermuda is stunning, very clean, perfect temperature and the locals were incredibly nice! In fact, a funny story on our taxi ride back our driver was just so exuberant and so happy! Waving to everyone on the rode, yelling through the window at her friends calling them precious and sweetheart. We had a really sweet conversation with her as she told us about her religion and how Bermuda is a very religion country. (Seriously, there was a church on every corner- it was very cool) 
After talking to her for a good while she asks Brandon's dad, Donny what he did for a living. He simply answers, "Well, I'm in show business." She paused, then slowed down quite quickly, almost slamming on her breaks and turns to face him her eyes bulging and exclaims "NO way!" and goes on to yell a number of excited phrases. "You just wait! You just wait till I unload you guys and I can call my girlfriend!" 
I've seen a number of responses to Donny but this one was by the far the best. We all just couldn't stop laughing. She was able to compose herself and keep driving. She was just the sweetest lady.
Just an example of the fun loving, kind people that are in Bermuda

Anyway,  we were so lucky to go and are so grateful for the entire trip. Bermuda we miss you!

Wow! What a picture perfect vacation. And all your swimsuits are so adorable. I wish I had style like that! (I just posted beach pics from our recent trip and I don't look nearly so adorable). So happy for you and your family.

Amazing. Are you sure you don't work for the Bermuda Tourist Board?! You have definitely 'sold' it as somewhere to put on the bucket list. Helps to have such photogenic subjects:-)
