Bermuda

While my parents graciously stayed with our kids, Olli and I boarded The Norwegian Dawn, a cruise ship, to the island of Bermuda.  We were belatedly celebrating our 10th anniversary (which occurred January 18th) and so excited to get to experience our first cruise.

Over the course of the week, we enjoyed fine dining, fun shows in the evenings, beautiful views from on the water and under the water while sailing and snorkeling, a great tour of the island from a Bermuda native and lots of time to take things slow and relax--a fantastic vacation over all!

Some of the brightly painted houses that are very common in Bermuda--notice the roofs made out of limestone used to catch and purify rain water

A Buttery, which was where the islanders used to store goods that needed refrigeration before electricity was brought to the island
