The Pekoes on Retreat!
Celebrations / Pekoe Group News / Social Media / Things To Do
October 18, 2013The Pekoe family recently gathered in the Hamptons to bond over a little R&R. Staying in a beautiful luxury estate, we spent our mornings laying by the pool, playing tennis and getting a massage. During the afternoons, we watched movies under cozy blankets in our personal movie theater, and took walks to explore the town and see the water. Our evenings were spent in the hot tub and playing games in the game room. And our respite was only interrupted by delicious meals including omelets made to order, the best bacon known to man, chicken salad so good we ate it two days in a row, and perfectly prepared steak, scallops, and lobster tails. Dinners began by toasting with Prosecco and ended with toasting marshmallows over the outdoor fireplace or indulging in some other decadent dessert.
We also spent time connecting through group activities. A morning yoga class helped us tap into a state of positivity. We participated in writing exercises that reminded us to be grateful and we discovered ways to best appreciate one another.
By the end of our long weekend, I think we all agreed that this was a lifestyle we could get used to. And even though the homes we returned to were much smaller than what we had quickly adapted to, our hearts were definitely bigger. Thanks Amanda for making this dream weekend a reality!
