A Journey to Remember: Columbus to Palomas

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can bring families closer together. When I heard about the Pink Store Tour from Columbus to Palomas, I knew it was something I had to try. The idea of crossing the border into Mexico for a day of shopping, dining, and exploring sounded like the perfect adventure for my family.

Our journey began in the charming village of Columbus, New Mexico. We were picked up right from our hotel, which made the whole process incredibly convenient. The kids were buzzing with excitement as we set off on our journey. The drive to Palomas was filled with beautiful desert landscapes, and our guide shared fascinating stories about the area’s history. It was a great way to keep the kids entertained and engaged.

Discovering the Pink Store

Upon arriving in Palomas, we were greeted by the vibrant and colorful Pink Store. It’s a place that truly lives up to its name, with its bright pink exterior and lively atmosphere. The store is a treasure trove of unique Mexican crafts, pottery, and souvenirs. My kids were thrilled to pick out some handmade toys, while my husband and I enjoyed browsing the beautiful ceramics and jewelry.

One of the highlights of the Pink Store is the restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. The authentic Mexican cuisine was a hit with the whole family, and the friendly staff made us feel right at home. It was a wonderful opportunity to relax and soak in the local culture.

A Quick Stop at the Duty-Free Store

Before heading back to Columbus, we made a quick stop at the Duty-Free store. It was a great chance to pick up some bargains on perfumes and other goodies. The kids were fascinated by the concept of duty-free shopping, and it was a fun way to end our adventure.

The Pink Store Tour was a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to any family looking for a unique and memorable day trip. It was a perfect blend of culture, shopping, and fun, and it left us with memories that we’ll cherish for years to come.
