Memories of Bermuda

Monsoon June has landed on our fair city (and province). Amidst the deluge of rain and constant thunderstorms, Emmett and his parents think back to their time in the sun of Bermuda. A mere two months have passed since their trip to these islands in the Atlantic, and Emmett still asks if we are going on the plane to Bermuda. Even though it is not as hot as other southern, tropical islands, at least the sun shone almost every day! Can't say the same for the past three weeks in Emmett's hometown.

Bermuda's economy is based on offshore insurance, reinsurance and tourism – we did our best to contribute to the latter and enjoyed some time in the sun and on the beach. Another international stamp in the three year old's passport...
 

  Hard to say who had more fun in the sand, Emmett or his Dad.

 Climbing Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, circa 1846. 185 steps to the top of the world's oldest cast iron lighthouse.

Have to sign in before climbing the stairs.

Historic St. George's. A world UNESCO site.

 The trolley that takes guests to and from the beach, and to restaurants around the resort. The trolley was pretty much Emmett's favourite thing about Bermuda. 

Chasing Waves.

 Our days began with complimentary continental breakfast in the Gold Floor lounge, and ended with complimentary happy appys during happy hour, thanks to Auntie Clare.

 Kids eat free at Fairmont. Translation: adjust your menu order based on what is on the kids menu. Order the largest kids appetizer and kids entree, eat it, and then just give the kid dessert.

Again, hard to say who had more fun on the beach...Emmett or Emmett's Dad.
