    The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner Living Happily Ever After (Part 2, Chapter 8)

    The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner Living Happily Ever After (Part 2, Chapter 8)
    PART TWO: SANTA CATALINA ISLAND

    Chapter 8

    When we were returned to our hotel and went up to our rooms, we saw our telephone light blinking to indicate a message for us.

    Bette took the call and found that Terry had been trying to reach her by cell to invite us for dinner on the ship. Her cell had been on but apparently there was no reception out in the back country. We talked it over and decided it would be fun to go, so she called him back to accept the invitation.

    He told her that there would be a dinghy at the dock to pick us up at 6 p.m.
    Meanwhile, we had plenty of time to take Angie on Catalina’s famous glass bottom boat ride. We drove the golf cart to the place of departure down at the Green Pleasure Pier. It was a good thing we had reservations because there was a long line.

    We boarded the Emerald, which is a semi-submersible vessel and sat down on bench seats at a railing below which was the bottom of the boat, all made out of glass of course. It was kind of a farce however, because we only went out about 200 yards to a place the narrator called Lover’s Cove where the marine life was totally protected.

    Angie loved it as she stood between Bette’s legs with her mommy holding her around the waist as the child got all excited, pointing, at the strange looking fish below us in the kelp forests. That was the fun part, seeing it all through her eyes as she giggled, laughed and was otherwise completely mesmerized by what she saw.

    There was indeed a wide array of undersea dwellers, many identified for us by the narrator, such as the bright orange garibaldi, spotted calico bass, sea urchins, rock fish and bat rays, just to name a few.

    By the time it was over, everyone around us and across from us, knew Angelica and got a big kick out of her comments. It was a pleasure to see Bette radiate with pride as she often rewarded her little daughter with a tight hug. When we walked slowly out with the crowd, there were those who commented how cute Angie was and one lady even said, “She’s gonna be a handful when she grows up.”

    1. kbergin47, Thanks for your comment. I used to play a lot of volleyball and loved the game. In fact, I was the captain of our team and we called ourselves the Globecrawlers.

    2. For the past two chapters, it’s fun to watch the views and comments of what boo perceived and made around their adventures. A great read for sure.

    3. Bette’s Babe, Having three kids of my own, I can relate to those little tykes who are so much fun. I kept detailed baby books and even wrote in how they pronounced words, as well as other things they said, such as I once told them, “Well, today is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.” to which my five year old responded, “Are we invited?” I kept a lot of notes in those days and even intended to write a book called, “The Peanut Butter And Jelly Years.”
