Trip of a Lifetime: Dawn Merchant's California Getaway

Dawn MerchantWe love to share stories about our employees and the amazing benefits they are eligible for at Arthrex, like the company-paid “Trip of a Lifetime.” Meetings and Events Coordinator Dawn Merchant tells us why her fun-filled trip to California wasn’t just her dream come true, but her Grandma’s too!

“For my five-year Trip of a Lifetime, I took my grandma on a girls’ getaway to California, where we traveled to San Francisco, Napa Valley and Monterey. This experience was so wonderful because I was able to take it with a very special person in my life. It was so exciting to be able to take her to see things she had dreamt of seeing her whole life. While in Monterey, we went humpback whale watching and visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium where my grandma and I got matching shirts! After hiking through Muir Woods, we stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge and Pier 39 in San Francisco and enjoyed the breathtaking views. We also made sure to stop and experience a wine vineyard while we were in Napa Valley. We are both so thankful to Arthrex for being so generous and sending us on this once-in-a-lifetime trip… We’re officially California girls now!”
