Humans dreamed of achieving flight for millennia, driven by the desire to find out what clouds taste like (a lot like fog, it turns out). Take to the skies with today's Groupon. For $40 per person, you get a quarter-hour private helicopter tour from Whirl Helicopter Atlanta, a $79 value. Depart from McCollum Airport in Kennesaw and fly to Kennesaw Mountain and over Marietta Square and the Big Chicken.

The Kennesaw Mountain Tour is a safe way to commune with nature without risking your life climbing a mountain presumably swarming with yetis or catching cold from the brisk mountaintop wind, that turns out to be debilitating yeti flu. Purchase multiple Groupons as gifts and go with the family, or arrange a romantic ride for just you and your sweetie (or both your sweeties, as each flight can accommodate up to three Groupon holders) to gaze alternately at the majestic peaks and each other.

After your 20-mile ride, you'll get one free dessert or appetizer (up to $12 value), such as the lush shrimp cocktail or decadent crème brûlée, to share among your party at Elevation Chop House. There's no better way to say goodbye to your sweetie forever than with the symbolism of planes taking off as you suck on a generously dressed shrimp. Renew your excitement to explore the world as you share a dessert with your gaze focused out at the sky.

Parties must not exceed a total weight of 600 lbs.
