Covered bridge at Childress Texas city park

We are one week into our first long road trip in nine years and have traveled to southern Colorado, through New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and into Alabama. My father-in-law has been living in Theordore, Alabama, for the last year, and we wanted to spend some time with him.

First stop and our first Harvest Hosts stay was the B. Social Feedstore in Westcliffe, Colorado. This is a beautiful part of the state! The Sangre de Cristo mountains were showing some fall colors, and we were delighted to find that Westcliffe is a charming small mountain town.

I love falling asleep to the sounds of the waves hitting the shore almost as much as I love walking on the beach. Getting to do both every day for a week was wonderful. If you’re wondering, those are my shoes and that’s my glass of wine, but that’s not us walking on the beach. Continue reading
