Bette: Thank you for bringing some of the Southern California weather with you. We have been having flashes of spring, but this is by far the nicest day yet.

Tina: Yes, that Peabody jet has all kinds of room.

The girls laugh at Tina’s joke.

Bette: My guess is you’re getting hungry again.

Tina: Definitely ready to eat.

Bette: Do you want something light ike your slice or do you want to head back to the diner we went to the first time we were here?

Tina: Let’s go back to the diner. They were so nice there and the food was good.

Bette: Yea, we’ll get a better meal there. Can you wait until the baby wakes up? She shouldn’t be long and I’m kind of just enjoying our quiet time here.

Tina: I’m good until my first growl, then you better do something about that.

Bette laughs heartily at Tina’s humor. They chat for while longer. Both thoroughly enjoying simply sharing a day in the park with their best friend. No schedule to meet. No pretenses. No demands. Before long their baby girl wakes and is ready for their next adventure. Dinner at the diner was as wonderful as the last time. Angelica’s appetite continues to grow; she eats vegetables and chicken well. They flirted with the idea of dessert but decided to pass.

Bette: T we probably have enough time to make that sunset cruise down at the south seaport, you want to try to make it?

Tina: Yea, let’s give it a try. Should we just get a taxi or is the subway better?

Bette: We’ll definitely want a taxi for that trip.

They make it to the port in time for the cruise. Bette goes ahead to get their tickets and is able to get a discount as a New York City resident while Tina pays the fare and settles the baby back into her stroller. Bette finds some dessert: Haggen Daz from a street vendor cart. They enjoy their ice cream on the boat during the early part of the cruise. As sunset approaches they find just the right spot near the rail of the boat. Bette wraps the baby blanket over Angelica’s legs and ties her hat back under her chubby chin. Angelica laugh and smiles at her mother, warming Bette’s heart to no end. Their spot along the rail of the boat has enough of a gap that Angelica can see through to the water. Bette stands behind Tina, wrapping her arms around Tina’s waist and snuggling into her partner. The sunset is beautiful and the perfect ending to family day in the city. Once home Angelica immediately scamperes to her room and begans to play with her See And Say animal sound toys, laughing and mimicking the sounds of the various animals.
