HANGING OUT WITH MAX & LUCY

Timeshare with Florida Family

Thanks Quang for allowing us the use of your timeshare -- the most perfect location. Home but away from Home! We checked in on Sunday and have had the most amazing time. The whole family was there. We swam, strolled, suppered on bubba gump shrimp and slept well. What a great vacation! And look at that view!

HydroBLADES takes Tavares 03/15/08

Kwan Lowe:
"As the boats returned to the docks to unload, I was elated and proud to be a member of the HydroBLADES team. And I was humbled. My teammates emerged from the boat with their bodies exhausted and near collapse, their legs trembling, their eyes red with emotion. They had given so much of themselves in the race that their bodies were in physical distress. Our captain had spoken of this; he'd said that he wanted us to "leave it all in the boat." It's one thing to hear it. It's another thing entirely to see your fellow paddlers almost unable to stand because of how much they'd given for the team.

That is the abiding memory I will take back to practice..."

The tribe debut at the Central Florida Dragon Boat Festival on 3/15/08. We brought home the GOLD in our division finals! 8 weeks ago, we did not exist. Look at us now, we are fierce!!!
