Part year residency when taking a few months to travel to different states between domiciles

My spouse and I moved in 2023 and have questions about part year residency and which states we should pay taxes to. We sold our CO house in May, took a couple months to travel including a 30 day stay in WA, and rented a house in MA after August. Throughout 2023 we earned monthly investment income (Capital gains, interest, and dividends), with no employment income. 

 

Should we only pay taxes to CO and MA, with residency switching once we domiciled in MA? I am confused about what residency means when we didn't have a home and spent a couple months traveling. Thanks for the help!
