Bermuda: The Final Chapter


 On Thursday, we played one of the prettiest golf courses I have ever played in my life, Riddles Bay. This is the first and oldest golf course in Bermuda. On this course you can see the entire island, the harbor, and beautiful ocean views. I must say,  I did lose a few golf balls but the beauty made up for it.

While we played golf, Aunt Anne was nice enough to watch Harper. As you can see, I think they had a great time.

That evening we enjoyed dinner at the resort Will and I stayed at last summer, Pompano Beach Club. It was so nice to go back and see all the friends we had made on that trip. The hotel staff were so excited to meet Harper and show us how much their own children had grown over the year. I would highly recommend both Pampano and The Reefs when travelling to Bermuda. Both  are excellent resorts but offer different things for families and couples.

Harper's dress that night was very special to us, since it was given by Brandon and Anne. They had her initials embroidered on the dress and had even bought matching shoes from etsy.com to match. It is one of my favorite outfits Harper has ever worn.

 On Friday, we decided to take in as much sun as we could, since it was our last day. So, we spent the majority of the day at the beautiful Reefs pool.

For our final dinner, we went to our favorite restaurant at The Reefs called Ocean Echo. The views from this restaurant are breathtaking.  It was a bitter sweet dinner, since it was going to be the last dinner of our vacation and the last time we all would be together for awhile. However, it was wonderful to be with everyone.

After dinner, we all went to the hotel bar and listened to a band playing island music. It was a great way to end our trip.

On Saturday morning, I had a very hard time saying goodbye to Bermuda (like I do every time we visit).It is my favorite vacation spot due to the beauty, wonderful resorts, outstanding food, and of course the people of Bermuda.

Needless to say, this was a wonderful trip with my family. There were so many memories made that I will never forget and will be sure to tell Harper about one day.

Until we meet again Bermuda...
