Todd & I jumped on a plane on Tuesday night, 4/21 and flew direct to Tampa, FL. We were surprising my family, only Gayle & Liah knew we were coming. In typical Epner style- Todd & I arrived (5:30 am) and I couldn’t get ahold of Liah (figured she forgot us and slept in).  But to my mis-communication she had booked us a rental car to drive down to Sarasota in and for her to drive back to the airport in the same day (smart cookie).

Todd was reintroduced to Florida. Even though we live in California, FL still has so much beauty to offer. We surprised grandma and dad by picking them up for lunch! WOW they were shocked.  That was the fun part of the surprise.  Hanging with dad and grandma and Liah even for a few short hours was fun.

Picnics in the park, Jimmy Buffet concerts and thrift shopping sums up the trip. A very special thanks to Brigid and Shane for offering up their concert tickets so Freddie could get a “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”

I truly do have the best friends ever!

It was great to see you dad, I love you.
