Top 10 Bermuda Moments

Close your eyes and pretend you have a frozen cocktail in your hand and warm Bermuda sun shining down on you. Okay, now open. Don't you feel better? Probably not, but you can if you actually visit! My husband and I had a tough spring after the passing of a loved one and we really needed a vacation to relax, heal, and just spend some quality time together.  Bermuda is such a special place and we had an amazing time not only enjoying the beautiful summer weather and fantastic meals together, but also celebrating a big birthday for my husband. 

Now that we are back in New York City I thought you may enjoy seeing some of my favorite memories from our most recent trip to Bermuda. Enjoy!
