Reuniting with my best friend…and meeting my godchildren!

 

I have always counted myself a lucky girl. For more reasons than one, I am bestowed a handful of people I consider best friends. Well the “first” of many would be my dearest Courtney. In the passed three years he; moved to Cali, had kids, got married, and made a life for them all out West! I couldn't be prouder of him, but of course, missed him so. Through the grapevine of friends and family of friends, I heard he and his little family were visiting! This passed Saturday, I joyfully head over to my old stomping ground(yet again!) with Sandra Dee between my legs :)

God mommy will never show up empty handed! I believe in showering my loves with gifts.

I get to Grand Central..and it’s pretty quiet..

I was a bit spooked I will not lie, but it was probably due to all the precautions the City was taking on the anniversary of 9-11-2001.

I was SUPER packed for this trip. I was also testing out the Detours Transit Box rear rack bag I won from a giveaway on Cycle & Style..great site for lady bikers alike! I was also given a Bell foldable pannier…lucky lucky me Reviews up soon

I get to Queens, and as always, am flooded with happiness to be back home

Still SO happy to see my old streets lined with bike friendliness

Made it to the ‘hood, instantly greeted and awe-stricken by me rollin in on my sweet-ass ride! Turned out they were having a Birthday BBQ…I PICKED THE PERFECT DAY TO STOP BY!

Couldn’t wait to give them their gifts! These are my god babies: Da’sani and Courtney Jr. aka CJ. I finally get to meet them..and MY GOD I fell in in love with them immediately, and am so honored to be the one entrusted with them if any unspeakable happened..along with another best friend of mine Jay:

aww! he loves his uncle/godfather :)

It was a great day that turned out to be more than expected, I mean I saw damn near ALL MY BFF’S IN ONE PLACE! That hasn’t happened since freakin High School! Here’s a few of my fav shots of this super great day:

If your my friend on Facebook, then you can check out the rest :)

I seriously wish there was a way to bottle up that entire day…it was perfection. Friends are everything to me, I have had the same friends for years and that isn’t changing a bit. I’ll see my loves again soon <3

The Kid: Sans training wheels :D

Mid-last week, Hubb and I decided it was time for The Kid to ditch his ruddy old training wheels! Pride may be a sin, but we were swelled to the brim with it. Without the help of either of us, he got on his newly two-wheeled transport, and rode on! BALANCE AND ALL! Not one fall with the initial push off..many later…but none for the first few minutes! Suffice it to say, Hubb and I were dumbfounded when he did…stuck in the middle of telling little man to “wait for us!” or “be careful!” he was off Making the family ride to Soundview Park(which is a bit out of the way, especially with The Kid tagging along) went smoothly, and documenting the memories from our ride/picnic, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy doing it 2 weeks in a row makes me look forward to doing it a bunch more times before the cold sets in.

It was time to take the wheels off!

^^I found it ironically hilarious that he wore this shirt today..HA!
Finally being free of the training wheels, we as a family of bike-lovers, took off exploring our new favorite park.

-We made camp by the Bronx River, and relaxed to some tunes

Monday we did it all again! except this time; I have pink hair


I picked him up a cool little cobra bike lock at Toys R Us few weeks back, finally using it!

We all had bike bags and helmets..even gave The Kid a button I got from Summer Streets.

I thought my outfit was SO CUTE…but I gotta face it, I do not know how to pose to show off clothes..help please? Been slowly upgrading my lady biker wardrobe…maybe I‘ll post on that soon

is it no wonder why I get gawked at while on a bike? why do I expect less? I’m an eye-catching cruiser doll
The fall-like weather and family rides about the hood make me hopeful..and anxious! LETS GET OUT AND SEE THE WORLD ON OUR BIKES..TOGETHER! FOREVER!
Here’s to our future cyclist
