destination: theodore, alabama

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.

where to eat on Anna Maria Island

Comments 4

First of all, you should eat where you can view this sunset, which is at the Gulf Drive Café on Bradenton Beach. Two of my all-time favorite sunsets have been here; our first night on this trip and two years ago on Valentine’s Day. Both times, I had the shrimp tacos. I think that must be the good luck charm because this was the only real sunset we saw this year. Our days were mostly sunny, but low-lying clouds moved in around 5 the rest of the week.
