Snowpine Lodge! A luxury lodge in Alta, Utah.

We love a good ski trip! We don’t love the tedious drive to Mammoth or June Mountain, the inevitable delayed connections through Denver to Aspen or other ski towns, and the schlepping around of yourself and all your gear that seem to come with most ski trips we’ve been on. We do love a fluffy bed and robe, delightful bar, delicious restaurant and cozy luxe environment for the pre and apres ski. Even better when the surroundings embrace the authentic old mining charm that make being in the mountains truly feel like an escape.

Maggie's Monterey Peninsula

Our Director of Development, Maggie Catbagan shares her insider tips for where to stay, eat, drink and play on the Monterey Peninsula. Her hometown of Pacific Grove may look and sound familiar if you, like us, are fans of “Big Little Lies…”

Here at the Firestone Sisters, we love a good road trip, especially one to cooler temperatures and fresh ocean air for Fall!

Girls Getaway to the Chesapeake Bay!

Making time for ourselves is harder and harder with kids, husbands, and jobs. There is something magical that happens when women take time for themselves- especially to connect with other women! Being with 11 of my best friends from Princeton to celebrate our collective 40th birthdays was an absolute blast. We let our hair down out on the Chesapeake Bay-- we boated, swam in the Bay, ate oysters, drank too much, laughed, cried, rode bikes, did yoga, got massages, and talked into the wee hours.

Spring Ski! The Goldener Hirsch Inn in Deer Valley, Utah

Park City has been a favorite getaway for us the last few years-- it is super easy to get to from California, incredibly quaint, and offers a plethora of skiing options. As all of you who are parents know, time away (alone!!) is hard to come by. When a visit from our mother dovetailed with Napper wrapping up a business trip in Salt Lake, we were quick to accept Lucy and my mother's generosity to stay with Ever while we had a much needed romantic ski weekend.

Destination Wedding! Lucy and Hayden Get Married.

What a week! And a week that ended with Lucy and Hayden as a married couple. A Mr. and Mrs! It was a full week of celebrations in one of our favorite soul sister spots, Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Ben and Charlie of Ocean View Club handled all of the wedding prep and execution flawlessly (even in the face of power outages and generator failures! Truly an unflappable duo.).

L'Horizon Hotel - Mid-Century Modern Luxury in Palm Springs by Mary

Napper and I had a much needed two nights away in the desert to celebrate my birthday and take some time to reconnect! Life is so busy and we find that these nights away really help refocus us on each other and our relationship without the distraction of kids, work, and a myriad of activities at home. The desert is a perfect destination when you're feeling overwhelmed/tired/stressed/frazzled/disconnected - something about the heat, the stillness and the space that immediately helps recalibrate to a better frequency!
