Zimmerman Family Airstream: Hot Springs National Park Travel Guide

Welcome to your Hot Springs National Park travel guide. In the past, when I’ve shared about our travels, I’ve always gotten so many questions about how I plan a trip. For years, this question stumped me. Planning trips comes more easily to me than almost anything. At the end of a long day, you won’t find me scrolling through Instagram, but you can surely find me researching my way to a new travel destination. I believe that what comes naturally to us is usually a huge indicator of our God-given strengths and abilities. So today, I’m sharing our travel guide to Hot Springs National Park, in the hopes that the next time you need to scratch that travel itch, it’ll be easier for you to hit the road and find adventure at Hot Springs.

A Kid's Evening Routine to Help Bedtimes be a Breeze

I don’t know if there’s a parent alive who, at some point, didn’t dread bedtime. It’s a perfect storm. We’re usually too tired to be our best parenting selves when our kids start to fight bedtime, and it’s one thing, like mealtimes, that kids know will happen every day. At some point, I decided that if I could hack my own day by breaking it down into a set of smaller routines, then I could create a routine that made bedtime easier. We start the kid’s days with a wellness routine, and this is how we support them with their evening routines!

On one hand, you have convenience, and on the other, you could save some money. But my philosophy is that time is our most valuable currency, and thats’s one reason why I’m so glad we stayed at the Grand Floridian! I loved our stay at the Grand Floridian so much that it’s my #1 tip to having the perfect first Disney trip!
