We recently visited Pagosa Springs, Colorado for a little family getaway and it was one of my favorite trips we’ve ever been on! It was so simple but we were all in our elements and I don’t think we realized how desperately we needed some time to just disconnect and relax.
Jesse is always incredibly busy with work during the summer – and we are so grateful for that – but I would be lying if I said I didn’t eagerly await the Fall so that we can have a little bit more time with him as work slows down.
Colorado in the Fall is more gorgeous than I ever could have imagined. The colors of the changing leaves made the drive up so beautiful and the AirBnB that we stayed at was in the perfect location. Every morning we walked to the coffee shop which was only two minutes away. Every person we passed was so friendly and would stop to say hello. I honestly never get tired of that!
We then walked to the bakery for a pastry or a delicious green chile breakfast burrito (I was a very happy girl to find green chile somewhere other than New Mexico!) Everything was so close to the house that it was easy for Sutton and Milo to walk with us, but enough of an adventure that they loved every second of it.
The San Juan River was only a minute walk from our house (opposite the coffee shop) and we spent a lot of time there. Sutton could have thrown rocks into the river all day long without getting even slightly bored – which definitely isn’t common for him!
