Horseshoe Bay

Last Friday, we got up early and ran off the boat.  
We hopped in a taxi and went to the Horseshoe Bay beach about 20 minutes away.  
The driver was a wealth of information about Bermuda.  He gave us a history of the island then let the kids ask him questions.  
Nice lighthouse.  
The view from the lighthouse.  
Amy and I stayed at this hotel 14 years ago!
We made it!  Such a beautiful place.  
We were here once a long time ago. 
All tourists but still so pretty. 


There was a cove surrounded by giant rocks.  
The water was clear and blue.  
Eli spent most of the day here.  So many cool things to look at.  
Hey Melissa!


Teen life! (well pre-teen I guess)
Eli took some cool 360 degree videos.  I will post later.  
We went in the ocean a bit.  The water was warm and the waves were big.  


Eli watched us.  


Back to the cove.  




We had to drag Eli out of there!  We all wish we had more time.  
We saw lot of boats on the way back.  
I got a croissant that was put in a waffle iron and covered in cookie cream.
We went to a British style pub in the port by the boat.  The food was actually really good.  
We wandered around the port.  
We got some fun stuff at the gift shop where Eli grilled the employees on the Bermuda Triangle!
Back to the boat.  
We had time before dinner so we went to the pool.  
Aden went back to taking over the splash pad.  
The boat nex tto us left!

Another nice day.  

We left around 5 pm.  I have a video of Aden saying goodbye Bermuda when he was 2 years old.  I made him do it again 14 years later!
Ariel helped Gwen with her makeup.  
We went to an early dinner in the main dining room.  Bermuda was still outside the window.  
Eli got a fruit salad with gummy bears in it!
We took a group shot.  Missing my mom and sister who weren't able to come.  
Amy and Clar.  
We played some video games.  
Sunset was pretty.  
I discovered an area of the boat I never saw.  
That was some group!
Ready to hit the Glow Party.  
This was a fun outdoor dance party late at night.  

The cruise director is on the left.  She sang and danced on stage the whole night.  
I found a cool seating area to relax before bed.  Have a great weekend!
