Free Falling in Spokane, Washington

November 12, 2012 By VoyageVixens 1 Comment

Punkin’ chunkin’, corn ear shooting, and pumpkin donuts? Meet Spokane, Washington during the fall harvest. It’s a place where you can be a kid again – from sliding down a shoot into a “sand box” of dried peas and getting lost in a human-size hay maze to tasting wine from the barrel out of a turkey baster! We’re not kidding – watch the video!

Our stories below cover it all, but we have to make a special mention to the Kalispel Tribe, whose ancestral land we visited in Usk, Washington. There you can see the buffalo herd, walk the land, check out a pow-wow (if your timing is right!), and venture through the land’s vast caves and grottos.Of all the native tribes in the U.S., this one is one of the most impressive, keeping its ancient heritage alive, reviving its spirit, and most importantly, giving back to the community in spades.

The tribe is the mastermind behind Spokane’s crown jewel of a hotel: Northern Quest Resort & Casino. We enjoyed the upscale cigar bar, tested our luck at the craps tables, shared a 22-inch hot dog at the Q (the hotel’s sports bar), and indulged in a Pend Orielle River Stone Massage at their Current Spa.For wine in Spokane, these wineries and tasting rooms are not be missed:

  • Townshend Cellars (family owned and operated)
  • Arbor Crest (which has one of the best 360 degree views of the valley around)
  • Barrister (which boasts “train-aged” wine from their downtown barrel room located under the train tracks)

WHO ARE THE VIXENS?

Lanee Lee and Lindsay Taub of Voyage Vixens

Hi! We're Lanee and Lindsay. You may have gotten to this page because you're intrigued by the word "vixens" or maybe you found some of our porn online (#travelporn, that is!). Either way, we are fully aware we are not what you typically think of when you hear the word "vixen", i.e. boobalicious babe wearing skintight minidresses in 6-inch heels. In our book, you don't need DDs to be a VV. To us -- vixens are smart and sassy women (and men, why not?!) who take action, scared sh**less or not, to turn their dreams into realities. Now you know a little about us; we'd like to get to know you. Connect with us on twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest, youtube, Facebook, tumblr, and periscope! (yes, we're on them all...#sorrynotsorry)

Got a Story to Tell?

We want to hear it! We're now accepting guest blog posts. Send us your travel tale—be it hilarious, heartwarming or horrifying— to [email protected]. Promise, you'll hear from us in less than 48 hours.
