Our trip started in New York where we flew in and spent the night with my cute old roomate Britney and her husband Martin. They took us to their ward talent show and it was in the middle of Harlem. I wish I would've taken some pictures. It was really fun. I LOVE NEW YORK!
This is how we got to Bermuda..
It took some serious getting used to. I got a little antsy knowing I was stuck on a ship with nowhere to go but the ocean. It was strange to just sit around and watch other people just sit around. I guess if we drank it wouldn't be as strange as it would be funny. Because apparently sitting around is really fun when you're drunk.
I can only describe Bermuda as paradise. The island is small, but it's beautiful! Every tree has flowers and everywhere we went it was so CLEAN! As you can see I was very happy to arrive.....FREEDOM!!!!
It's kind of hard to see how ridiculous this guy looks in his suit coat and Bermuda shorts AND yellow socks. Another popular combination was to wear light blue shorts and pink socks. And they all walked around as if they were just fine with it too.
We took a bus around the Island and this is where we got off at one of our stops to feed some sea turtles. The pictuers didn't turn out well, but it was pretty cool.
The best part of our trip was on Jared's birthday when we went snorkeling. Everyone told us to take our own gear and do it on the beaches, but we decided to go on an excursion through the ship and it was the best decision we made!! It was actually really inexpensive and they took us to this private island and we snorkeled all around it. I only went around the island once because I got pretty cold but Jared stayed in the water the whole 3 hours.
This is Tobacco bay, one of the popular places to snorkel. The whole island is made up of Volcanic rock and there are bazillion fish and snails and squid and all sorts of creatures all over the place. We fed them some bread and they jumped right out of the water and grabbed it from our fingers.
They had chocolate night on the ship. I was really excited about this, but it ended up mostly being a whole bunch of different chocolate cakes. I was dissapointed. I was expecting actual chocolate. It was just okay.
I did end up getting used to the boat after a while. Meals were always worrisome, since I wasn't sure if I was hungry or nauseated, but overall it was really fun! It was nice being able to spend time with Jared and just relax. We definately got to catch up on our sleep and that alone was money well spent!
The last day on the island we walked down the beach until we ran out of time and it was really fun! The sand is like fluffy pink powder. The rocks are really cool too. There were a million little tiny beaches we walked to and every one had a little inlet with tons of colorful fish.
We REALLY didn't want to leave!!
We got back to New York on Sunday the 8th. It was REALLY hot but we dragged our luggage around the city and went to some of our favorite spots anyway. Here's Jared with some tastey pizza.
Here we are in Little Italy. Britney and Martin told us that we had to go there to try the pastries. We are happy they did because they were yummy!! And that concludes our trip!

Well it's about time you posted your Bermuda trip! Sounds awesome! I'm glad you guys got to go... This will ruin every birthday for Jared from now on because it won't be another cruise :)
i'm suuuuper jealous! what a fun trip!
I'd love to go to one of these island paradises one day. But not today--there's a category-three hurricane headed to Bermuda.
Oh I want to go on another cruise! I really think they are the best way to vacation. It looks like you guys had a great time and you totally deserve it!
Oh my goodness...it looks absolutely heaven like and I so wish now that we would have taken the time to do a little trip for just ourselves. Jumping straight into a new life and now I am wondering when are we ever going to find the time to take a trip now that we live...once again...away from family. We'll find the time I'm sure. I sure hope so because looking at the pictures made me want to lounge around and drink a pina colada. Hope you had your share of yummy food and drinks while you were there...sorry about the chocolate though!
I must say you look very "unmanly" in those photos.. (hee hee) Your trip looks like so much fun. We also enjoyed the cannoli's and gelato in Little Italy. Oh so good! Next time lets plan a cruise together!!! GREAT PHOTOS! Oh, and Jared, I will only come and get my teeth done by you if you wear the Bermuda shorts with the Blazer. That is a requirement! ha haa
Wow I am so jealous! You look like an island princess in that one picture. I am glad you guys had such a good time.
We are all so jealous! I'll have to second the island princess thing. Sara, you look so cute. I'm glad you guys had fun. Now back to the real world of Jared working. We miss you guys!
