Bette: Yea, this area reminds me of my time there; kind of nostalgic. We live close to New Haven so I’ll have to take you to campus some time. I was thinking about pulling out those bikes and heading to the lighthouse. We haven’t done bike riding since Marina Del Rey and I don’t see riding in the City anytime soon.

Tina: I’d love to see Yale with you sometime. Guess I can get used to the idea of our daughter going there. We are definitely not riding the City.

Bette: You know we sound like New Yorkers already “the City”.

Tina: Hey, if the shoe fits.

Bette: You really want to start shoe talk with me?

Tina: Uh, no.

Bette: I’ll load the dishwasher and pull out the bikes and helmets. It was so sweet of Orville to attach a baby carrier.

Tina: Yea, that would be best. Running has helped my leg strength and stamina, but someone made them a little Jell-o like this last night. So sharing the load with you will be perfect.

Bette: Well, have no fear spin class is working for me.

Tina: Yes, I can agree with your there.

Bette: We can make the call when we get there, but the lighthouse has 137 stairs to the top. We can’t take the baby so if we want to do it we’ll have to take turns.

Tina: Hmm, I’ll have to see how my legs feel. I need to make sure I can help us pedal back.

Bette: Well, we’re in no hurry. We can take as many and as long of breaks as we need. We can also drive back to the lighthouse sometime and climb the stairs.

Bette takes Angelica outside with her while she pulls out the bikes. She also grabs a towel and small blanket. They’ll likely be out for Angelica’s nap time. Tina loads the dishwasher, packs lunch and tosses the chicken and steaks into marinades so they are ready for the grill tonight.

Bette: Hey the carrier is attached to a tandem bike. The bike has a lock so we’ll be able to park and enjoy lunch or whatever while we’re out. There is also a basket on the front. I put a towel and small blanket in there already.
