We all know the story, have seen the pictures, and maybe have even been to the Visitor's Center at Mt. St. Helens.....but to see it from the air is a different story. The side of the mountain that was blown out, and the direction blast of the downed trees is pretty amazing. As is a log-jammed Spirit Lake, and a still smoldering crater. The terrain has a lunar quality to it that makes it feel truly other worldly. Living in Washington state, this is something that should definitely be on everyone's bucket list! Two lucky fliers will have the pleasure of jumping into a Cessna 206 at a private Toppenish runway, and taking a leisurely and personal 2-hour tour around the mountain with Capt. Graham Gamache. 

You and seven friends will get a peek behind the curtain at Bale Breaker with the head brewer as your tour guide!  See how it's all done, from beginning to end, and sample the final products, using what you learn on your tour to discern how it plays out on your palate.  Then head on over to E.Z. Tiger to spend a $400 gift certificate and sate your hunger with some of the best food in Yakima.  Good time all around!

The Battle in Seattle is BACK!!  After a 5-year gap, "The Battle" is reignited, with Gonzaga matched up against the University of Alabama on Saturday, December 4, 2021 in the brand new Climate Pledge Arena at Seattle Center.  With a two-night stay at the beautiful Fairmont Olympic Hotel, plus $100 toward dinner at the hotel, you can enjoy a weekend in the city properly, with one night to unwind, and the other to watch the Zags take on the Crimson Tide.  The Bulldogs are 9-4 with the Battles, and have won the last 5 consecutively.  Be there to see them make it an even 10!

Luxuriate in a Mexican Villa to the sound of the ocean?  Yes, please!  A week in paradise is all it will take to get you back to your neutral.  Well, technically it's not a villa, it's an ocean-front Presidential Suite at the Sheraton Buganvilias Resort in Puerto Vallarta.  Comfy for up to eight, this three bedroom, three bath retreat will be your oasis when not relaxing at one of the pools, spending time on the beach, walking around town doing some shopping or eating out at one of the amazing restaurants that populate the city.  Must be used January 22-29, 2022.  Airfare for 4 included.  

Did someone say TREE HOUSE?!  Let your inner-child loose at the beautiful Skamania Lodge in the Columbia Gorge with a one-night stay for two in one of their luxurious tree houses.  If that wasn't enough, tack on a $2000 gift card so you may choose your own adventure during your stay -- golf, spa, restaurants, more time at the tree house -- anything they offer that your heart desires.  It's like that tree house fantasy you had as a kid, but way more comfortable, and adjusted to accommodate your discerning adult taste.  A truly unique experience!
