Aimee & Wayne
What's an empty-nester to do? Aimee & Wayne's last daughter was out of the house and off to University. They suddenly realized that they were doing nothing. It had been all about the kids. They found themselves sitting on the sofa watching tv.
Aimee realized that this wasn't working for them. She says "BCO saved our marriage." They are active in the group, finding new things to do in Houston and have revitalized their life. They started out by trying standup paddleboarding and now are planning a kayak camping trip that was just a pipe dream before
Nan
How do you bring your active lifestyle to Houston with you? Nan moved back to Houston from Washington DC where she had lead a very active lifestyle. She arrived in Houston and found BCO in an internet search. Almost the day day a co-worker told her to look BCO up. As she says; she has never looked back.
From meeting lifelong friends to leading a dream trip kayaking in the San Juan Islands. Nan has found that even in a city that's known exclusively for restaurants, there's a lot of outdoor fun and friends to be found.
Kimberly & Eric
When love grows overtime...Eric & Kimberlee talk about how shared interests and activities allow relationships to grow overtime. You get to know people on a deeper level then just dinner and a movie and a fleeting hope this it could be a fit.
Eric was a cyclist and Kimberlee enjoyed a lot of hiking and walking and so even though they were both active the possiblty of them meeting outside of BCO was slim.
