For my Dad's 60th birthday, my sisters and I decided to surprise him with a 5-day cruise to Bermuda. I initially thought saving up to pay for this gift would be the hardest part about planning the trip, turns out it was actually keeping it a secret from him for 8 months! Though one of my sisters had cruised before, the rest of us had never cruised before; so it turned out to be quite the bonding experience. From the ocean, skies, buildings, and homes, we were all consistently wowed by the vivid shades of varying blues.
