Lobsters Beware

This afternoon we are taking a ride to Port Jefferson. It is about one hour away, but it will feel like a bit of a vacation. We will walk along the marina and go into the souvenir shops. We will stand by the ferry and watch as cars and people board it for the ride to Connecticut. The highlight of the day will be dinner. When we were there last year, we ate at an outdoor informal restaurant. The lobster bisque was the best I ever had and the lobster dinner was very reasonably priced. After dinner and another walk, we will head to the candy and ice cream store, where we will look at every counter until we find the perfect dessert. Last year four of us went. This year there will be five. Before we leave home, we will first have to pass an intelligence test. The challenge is putting an infant car seat base into our car. It could go either way. It could fit perfectly or there could be a lot of yelling as we struggle. If things go poorly, we will just take it uninstalled to my son's house where he will pop it in within one minute. We are trying to do it ourselves first just to see if we can.
