Vacation Days continue in Bermuda

Just got back from a week-long cruise to Bermuda.  It was pretty, warm and fun: here's the white lava cocktail I sipped as the ship left the harbor.

There were gorgeous sunsets to watch as they slid into evening.

Dinners to get dressed up for:

and oh, so much food.

Excursions to the Royal Naval Dockyard

and St. George

where we couldn't believe how blue the water was

and we made a few new friends.

If you like pink as I've mentioned I do more than a few times before, this is the place for you, especially in the town of Hamilton:

so many pretty houses (in other colors too).

We took a sunset glass bottom boat to see the coral, fish and a shipwreck below.

And went to Horseshoe Bay

probably the most beautiful (and pink!) beach I've ever seen

where we climbed up a cliff to look around for miles

and the water was still clear.

Although this is NOT the way that I came down again.

It was a lovely trip, more pics to come!

Change of Scene

It's been a wallop of a spring!  Busy all around, lots of changes, yadda yadda yadda...so it's time to get out of here for a while, see some new things and make some new memories.

I heard about this NYC & Philly blogger meetup organized by Delightful Dozen from the always fabulous Helen Zuo of Helen Hearts.  We've been bloggy pals for a while so I'm SO excited to meet her in person and trek over to Brooklyn together.  Fingers crossed for a dry day with rapid transportation...a LOT of fingers crossed...

Then on Father's Day I'm hitting the high seas for a cruise...

to Bermuda!  It'll be my 2nd time there and is well-deserved vaca time for my sister who just took her 8-hour medical boards exam: so proud of her and can't wait to chill together.

Then even tho I'll be back at work for a few days, I'll start out next month with a plane ride to...

Paris!  It'll be my first time to Europe so I've been trying to brush up on my French but it's been a looong time since high school.  I'm absolutely in love with the colorful Parisian art print collections from little brown pen and can't wait to go find some beautiful things to see and taste.  

Hope you're all traveling somewhere fun this summer, or having a lovely staycation as Time Out New York recommends this week.  Either way, relax, enjoy and take yourself on a little date like Helen did in her sweet encouragement post.  We could all use more time for quiet self reflection.  And yea, that's another shoutout for ya, Helen, see u tomorrow!
