Last weekend we traveled to Bermuda where my sister got married. After a few snafus, we had a wonderful time. We left Friday right after school (I therefore missed the first football game and Open House - who schedules Open House on a Friday night anyway???). Our flight left early Saturday morning from Charlotte, NC, about a four hour drive from Beaufort. We flew out of Charlotte in order to have a direct flight into Bermuda. When we arrived at the airport Sat. morning and were checking in, we realized that Justin and I had grabbed my expired passport. I didn't panic (probably because my entire body went completely numb at this point), and thankfully there was one seat left on the Sunday morning flight. Soooo, everyone else flew to Bermuda on Saturday while I drove back to Beaufort, grabbed my new passport, then turned around and drove right back to Charlotte. I finally made it to beautiful Bermuda Sunday afternoon. Oh, by the way, I was moved up to first class on my flight and took total advantage of the complimentary liquor. I also might have stopped at an outlet mall Sat. night and shopped but who knows??? :)
Here are some pics of the fun times had by Sean and Justin while mom was driving like a maniac on Saturday :)
Amstel - it's not just for breakfast anymore :)
Once I arrived in Bermuda, we headed straight to a beach called Achilles' Cove. The beaches in Bermuda are absolutely amazing and like nothing I've ever seen. They are all very private and completely secluded because they're surrounded by volcanic rock and old coral reefs. It was awesome with an almost two year old because he could have free reign. Sunday night we had a "rehearsal dinner" at a restaurant called The Carriage House. The wedding was Monday morning at an Anglican church called St. Peter's. This church is actually the oldest Protestant church that is still in use in the New World - very cool!!
The wedding party:
After the wedding and pictures, the reception was held at The White Horse Tavern, where we drank rum swizzles (or schwizzles as my sister likes to call them after one too many :)
The beautiful Mahan family :)
Resting for round two and a trip to the beach!
After lunch, drinks and cake at the Tavern, we headed back to our hotel for an afternoon nap. Then, it was back to the beach - this time to Tobacco Bay (highly recommended!).
On Tuesday, to our disappointment, it was time to head back to Beaufort and reality...
Bye Bye Bermuda!!!
