Let's take a cruise to Bermuda in 1929
It's been a while since I posted old family pix. Here's some of my maternal grandparents on their honeymoon cruise to Bermuda in 1929.
Grandmother as a stylish flapper. Looking a tad seasick?

Mmmm, beer! No Prohibition in Bermuda.

Related story: My grandfather bought a house outright for himself and his new bride and paid for the cruise by selling stock in September of 1929. Years later he liked to tell visitors "Did you know I bought this house for fifteen cents?" because that was all the stock was worth after the crash.

My grandmother would cut off the corners of photos and paste them into scrapbooks. She was still doing this over half a century later. I cropped the photos so it's not evident in some, but they're all like that. I don't know where that aesthetic arose from.
