Bermuda, here we are!
This was the day John and I have talked about and planned for for over 3 months....meeting the family. We got to Bermuda at 11:00 and were cleared to get off the ship shortly thereafter.
Phone charged up, I started making calls to let Aunts, Uncles and Cousins know that we had arrived. We made plans to meet in the afternoon. The 3 of us showered, dressed, ate breakfast, got off the ship and did a bit of walking around and window shopping. I knew that Eva was not going to get her regular nap so I was glad when she fell asleep in the stroller while we were out and about.
We finally met up with a few family members around 2:30. So great! They had to run an errand before the rest of the family arrived so Eva and I went with. Eva was so relaxed and comfortable with her new family members... just chatting away and being the natural charmer that she is!
When we got back to Dockyard, the other family was arriving and one by one was meeting them. It was so wonderful to see her getting loved on. And because John and I were so happy and excited and comfortable, it made her feel that way as well. Eva had no anxiety or stress.
With everyone having arrived, all 13 of us headed to the Frog & Onion for dinner. Around that same time, Eva was getting just a bit cranky. She had only had a 40 minute power nap up to this point. I was able to get her to take another nap and by the time dinner was being served, she was awake after another 40-minute nap.
After we said our goodbyes for the 20th time, John, Eva and I went back to the ship, locked ourselves in our room and called it a night! More family to see tomorrow
