Detailed Itinerary

We all know that Ken didn't want us to mourn his passing with a formal and somber event.  Instead, we have chosen to honor his love of a good time by planning a celebration at one of his favorite places.  Ken loved Key West, though it is hard to pinpoint exactly what he cherished most about it.  Maybe it was the freedom of having no set schedule, the time spent with family, the late-night steak sandwiches, or perhaps the joy of a 9AM beer without judgement.  Whatever the reason, he never missed a chance to go (Well, except the time Gary and I eloped - he's been kicking himself for missing that ever since).  Sometimes we would fly, sometimes we would drive, making memorable stops along the way.  Dad of course could never remember the name of any of them and would always text us, "What is that place Gary and I like to stop at?"  On one trip Gary made a rum concoction in a huge jug, and he and Dad drank it as we took the back roads.  By the time we reached the Middle Keys, they were both so drunk that we had to stop for dinner and spend the night.   This weekend, we are taking Tony on the infamous drive, making it kid-friendly, of course, and showing him all  the places that Poppop loved to visit with us and why he loved Key West so much.  We hope to share some of the same memories with all of you and maybe even tell a story you haven't already heard.
