Hudson Valley Weekend - Editorial design, photography&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; copywriting.     Even if it was going to only be a few degrees cooler, the trip upstate with good friends was a nice respite from the unbearable summer heatwave that never seemed to end. Traveling up the winding Taconic Parkway and leaving the city behind we spied the Catskill Mountains in the distance and already the air started to feel lighter and the sky looked bluer. We were headed to Livingston, NY at the invitation of our friend Linda and of course we arrived just in time for afternoon cocktails. Let the Labor Day weekend begin!
