It’s Cup Match weekend! This year, we decided to actually go. And to be more adventurous, we decided to ride the new electric scooter! Boy is that ever a smooth ride!

The event was held in Somerset this year. So much tradition here! It was very hot, but still fully packed out!

Of course, we had some of the must-have foods. I had the Conch fritters.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Cup Match without the Crown & Anchor tent. We didn’t play, but we felt the vibe!

Other than that, we made one circuit around the field and then called it a day. We were mostly there for the atmosphere, and we got it!

Afterward, we decided to go play some mini golf.

At first, I was frustrated because the greens were pretty bumpy, so I was constantly missing easy shots. But once I resigned myself that it was going to be somewhat random, it was fun anyway. We actually tied over the first 12 holes, but I got wiped out in the last 6. Ah well.

And look who got a Hole in One!! 🙂

The Deloitte summer party was at Elbow Beach, with nibbles at Mickey’s. We got to catch up with friends while there too. It sure was a scorcher though, so it was all about finding shade. There was a DJ on the beach too!

We had a fun time cheering on people running the Bermuda Half Marathon. Some of our friends joined because we live so close to a good cheering spot. It’s also a water station and a relay exchange point, so lots going on!

We went to the Sail GP. Little did I know that the Canadian boat was a top contender!. But as soon as I found out, my excitement level skyrocketed! I was thrilled to cheer on the Canadian team, and I wasn’t alone – a whole contingent of Canadian fans was in the crowd, all of us eager to see the team in action.

We had splurged on VIP tickets, and it was totally worth it. Our seats were perfect, with a big screen to track the race and decent food to fuel our cheering. The sun shone brightly as we enjoyed a lovely day by the water, watching those incredible boats zip past on their foils.

But our day wasn’t without a hitch – we had to navigate a conflict with Formula One, which was happening at the same time! We managed to secure our parking spots just in time, then streamed F1 in the car!

And then we were free to focus on the sailing. And what a thrill it was! The speed, the skill, the suspense – it all combined for an unforgettable experience. Go Canada!

We went early, got our parking spot, and then set ourselves up to watch Formula One in the car.

I joined the Ladies Salsa On2 Tempo team in February. We learned the choreography over 3 months, and performed in April! We started out with 4 girls but ended up performing with just 3. Here’s us at a photo shoot leading up to performance day!

It wasn’t my first performance, but the excitement on performance night was felt by all, both old and new! Some backstage shots before the stage at my prep area

And here are 2 of us ready and waiting to go up. Del and I are new friends now and see each other outside dancing.

The City Hall stage, and some of the other performances.

Finally, some stills from our performance, including our bows at the end.

And here’s our video!

And a couple of pics from the after-party at the art gallery upstairs. Can’t believe I didn’t get one with Lothar!!

We gathered at the historic White Horse extravaganza on a windy day.

The kids built kites while the adults found space to stand.

Then, we headed outside for a scavenger hunt, thinking we’d done well, but actually coming in last. Afterward, we enjoyed a piñata filled with candy, made by Sophia’s mom. The kids loved it, and the sweets disappeared in seconds. Despite the wind and surprises, we had a fun day together!

We celebrated Lex’s birthday at home.

Later we went out to our favorite local restaurant in our usual seat and celebrated some more. I got them to decorate his dessert rather than bring a random birthday dessert.

It’s always a fun time going to Just for Laughs! It’s so great to see Alonso back year after year. He’s part of Bermuda now!!

I used AI to actually create this beautiful image, then just put our little faces on it. So cool we can do this now! Somehow, we didn’t take a picture of the 2 of us.

A lovely bike ride on a lovely day! We don’t do it a lot, and the roads are pretty bumpy. But once we got there, it was just beautiful!
