Beaches & Adventure Insider

Lauren Tjaden

Hang gliding is my passion, and in 2006, I helped the U.S. Women's Hang Gliding Team win silver in the World Championships. An author, ultimate adventure lover, beach bunny and sand snob, I've visited almost every beach in Florida and can't wait to explore more. Join me as I flip-flop across the Sunshine State, sharing the softest sand, sweetest shores and a boatload of adventure.



Zephyrhills' Skydive City's Thanksgiving Boogie and Turkey Meet

November 18, 2009

Related Tags: Zephyrhills, Skydiving

This is me skydiving tandem over Lake Wales. My instructor, Mario, thought it was amusing to make animal horns above my head with his fingers while we were in freefall. Credit: Liz Sass

Keep your eyes peeled for tumbling turkeys!

After all, there’s no telling what kind of bird-brained action you’ll see in the Zephyrhills skies Nov. 21-29, 2009, at Skydive City’s Thanksgiving Boogie and Turkey Meet. Their annual season kickoff will feature a feast of events, seminars, coaching, competition, free-flying and even wing-suits.

Wing-suits? Okay, this I have to see.
