Lovin Life in Bermuda!

We had so much fun in Bermuda. I would have loved to have been able to go with Jeremy, but since that wasn't an option, I took my very best friend, my sister. I am so lucky that I have her living so close. So going to Bermuda with her was SO MUCH FUN!

We started out flying to New York and it was so stinkin cold! I had no idea how cold it was going to be. Of course there had to be a major cold front that just happened to follow us all the way to Bermuda. Our first day in Bermuda was the coldest day they had had all year!

We had so much fun just walking through all the fun little shops and of course buying just a few things :) We walked many streets in Hamilton just checking everything out. It was so pretty there and everyone was so friendly.

My very favorite part of the trip was the Helmet Dive that I already blogged about. It was totally amazing and beautiful under the ocean. The water was the most amazing color of blue. It was so clear that you could see everything down there. Mo was such a sport to do this with me, since she hates to be in the water. She even ended up liking it! After the dive while the other groups were diving, we just laid out on the top of the ship and relaxed in the sunshine. It was so nice and peaceful. We did get a little bit burned, ok so FRIED! But it was totally worth it!

I have to say that we were totally pampered on the ship. The crew was so friendly and would do anything for you. When we went to dinner, our server Bambang would always pull out our chairs for us, and put our napkins on our lap for us. If we started to do it ourself, he would give us this look and make us wait. Our room boy always had our room made up so nice, and there was always a different little towl animal on our bed for us which were very cute. And the ice cream bar there was dangerous! We had ice cream a couple times a day, who wouldn't love that?

I was very lucky to have such good help here at home while I was gone. My mom and dad kept my kids the first weekend, and then I had Jamie Walton (Day), her husband Dustin, and her little boy Oakley come and stay at my house to take care of my kids and everything else here at home. Then my parents took the kids again for the second weekend to give Jamie a break. My kids are not the easiest to handle, but Jamie was awesome! My kids loved her and had so much fun with her. We only had a few little mishaps while she was here, mostly with animals. The first was Carson's Beta fish died and the boys found it when they went to feed it. The next day Bryson and his little buddy Braxton decided to see if Carson's little dog Grendal could fly out the second story window, landing on the sidewalk below.... and no, he didn't fly, but he amazingly wasn't hurt either! So Jamie had to hold Carson back from beating the crap out of Bryson. Then later that night the boys found one of our baby kittens that was in the basement dead. Once again, Bryson and Braxton causing mischeif. They were in the cat carrier (for who knows how long) and they had fed them popcorn. Since they were only 3 weeks old, popcorn wasn't really it's food of choice. I think after that night, Jamie had just about had it and that is right when her little baby started throwing up, which continued all night long. Poor Jame. But she was amazing!

So that is the short version of my trip. I wish I could write everything down, but that would be way too much! We had a great time and I can't wait to do it again, but this time with my very best friend, Jer.
