The Valley Girls - including Rebecca and Danielle from season 2 segments "A Capital Idea" and "The 411 of Westchester" - are joined by Melaine Rottkamp of Destination Dutchess and Hudson Valley Tourism to wax nostalgic about childhood summer fun and share their lists of must-do Hudson Valley summertime activities. Also check out our ideas in our two blog posts to supplement your own summer wish lists - one for the Capital District and one for the rest of the Hudson Valley!

The Valley Girls soar to new heights with Anne Swaim, Executive Director of Saw Mill River Audubon in Chappaqua, about why the Hudson Valley is a “crazy-good” birding region, why bald eagles are making a comeback, why you don’t need to worry about the baby birds you see on the ground, how to choose the best binoculars for maximum bird-spotting, the collective noun for a group of turkeys, and the zen of birdwatching. Fly over to the blog post for tons of links and resources from Anne!

The Valley Girls chat with Gwyn Corso of Denver Skin Therapy, Matt Eyler of Trinity Martial Arts, and mind-body coach & counselor Jenny Baltazar, MA about how skin care, meditation, community, goal setting, structured routines, and altruism can all be forms of self-care; why self-care is non-negotiable; and doing things to make life easier for your future self.
