Our first visit of the day was with Leny and Randy, two very great friends who we met at a founders event. They are consummate travelers and are extremely knowledgeable. We met at the Capitol Grill on Sunrise and what a delightful meal that was. So many stories to hear and to tell. We had another engagement in the area but had time to spare in between. So we went to the wonderful Hugh Taylor Birch Park for a drive and a stroll. It set us back 6 dollars but there was a 2 to 3 mile loop that we could drive multiple times and a butterfly garden harboring tiny birds. We spent a little over an hour and then headed off to our next visit.

Look at the man in front of the window to the right. The house would seem to be normal sized but in fact it is gigantic!
The one story on the right is almost as high as the second story of the three story on the left
