beach day in bermuda!

we have been in bermuda the past few days and can’t get enough of these gorgeous beaches and insane water colors! ever since our trip here last summer, this place climbed the list of our favorite places so quickly and we started talking about our return trip and how much we had to come back the minute we got back last summer! josh kept a look out for good airfare tickets during the year and when he found tickets on sale back in january, we all pretty much started a big count down to june!

i’ll share more photos soon, but went through these from our first beach day here and wanted to share! can you believe the beautiful sky color against that bright clear turquoise water? we have been lucky to have great weather for the most part this trip, since the forecast leading up to it said thunderstorms all day everyday for our entire stay. we had a bunch of rain yesterday, but it sounds like bermuda has been in desperate need of it, so i’m glad they are getting some good water right now.

if you know me in person, i have probably already talked your ear off all year long about how much i love bermuda. we just can’t get enough of this place and since i have a birthday this week and we celebrate 10 years of marriage (WHAT!) next week as well, it was the perfect excuse to make this trip happen for our family! love you forever, bermuda!

eleanor and samson have talked at length about the portugese man o’ war’s since seeing and learning about them last summer. they loved spotting them when they occasionally washed up onto the beach before the lifeguards would come help. it’s a bummer these things can be so dangerous, because they are seriously so gorgeous close up!

for those who have asked on my instagram about my swimsuit, you can find it here. it was a more expensive purchase for me, but i knew it’d be one i’d wear for years to come so for me it was worth the investment. i love the cut and color so so much. my sunglasses are from last year and no longer available, but similar here and here.

poor josh got a bad sunburn the day before our beach day on a boat ride, so he was covering up well on this day. i kept poking fun of him but then came home with the worst sunburn myself on my back! i always forget to lather up on sunscreen in that area and it’s the worst burn i’ve had! we have both been having a good laugh during the day as we try to get comfortable but also are in pain.

also, josh davis wins the awards for most interesting and unique sand castles for sure!

couldn’t help it. you know me.

we had the best time putting a very small layer of sand on top of samson after digging out a shallow ditch for him to lay in. he was so excited about it and he stayed in it forever because he loved feeling the sun on his face as he chilled there. haha! we brought over some snacks and fed him and he was seriously living the life right there! he got himself out no problem when he was done basking in the sun.

more pics of the portuguese man o’ wars!

while conrad napped, eleanor and samson spent a good while filling the same hole with water! i kept thinking, “how this fun?!” but they couldn’t get enough of it. :)

more to come from bermuda soon! we have one more day here and it’s looking like the weather is on our side, so we’re off to go soak it up for a few more hours!

WEARING: my swimsuit and similar red sunglasses here and here. the kids rash guards are from here and the little cameras they are using to document their trip are by instax.
