Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

Last Day in Key West

March 4

It's our last day in Key West and we want to see whatever we missed. Think we've pretty much done it all but the galleries. Rick goes back to the docks first thing because he wants another lobster tail tonight...think I've had my fill, and just want a couple of stone crabs.

Stop at Kelly's for lunch..very pretty garden setting....while the food was okay...I had a Mango BBQ Pulled Pork (needed more mango) and Rick had a Shrimp Po'boy...it is quiet and peaceful and lovely for a late lunch. Strolled the Duval St. galleries and was totally underwhelmed.

The last important stop is to locate the Blond Giraffe to buy Key Lime Pie on a stick dipped in chocolate. We are on a mission for my daughter who saw it on some Food Network show and has been coveting one! They are now safely in the freezer to bring home.
