Dad's 99th birthday

My sister and her husband joined us in Littleton for a few days of fun, then the four of us flew to Florida, to visit Dad for his 99th birthday. My cousin from New Hampshire joined us there. Dad had started out saying he didn't want any kind of party, but by the time we got there, he had a dinner for 20 planned! I invited my friend Jennefer to come meet my Dad and his friends, and she changed the family dynamic of our visit, in a very nice way. With some encouragement from my cousin, we did a few extra fun activities, like swimming in the pool at Dad's condo, exploring Morikami Gardens just inland from Del Ray Beach, and walking around MacArthur Beach State Park near my Dad's, all of which we enjoyed a lot. And... Jennefer is now my girlfriend :-D
