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.

Goals and Intentions for our 2021 Airstream Journey

Traveling in an Airstream has been a goal of mine for years. But how many times has a dream become a reality only to… kind of fall flat and disappoint. One of my favorite ways to make sure that you make the most of your dreams is to create specific goals and intentions for your year. As we entered into this totally new phase, we wanted to be really specific about what we wanted to get out of our time as a full-time travel family.

Introducing the Zimmerman Family Airstream Journey | Vlog Ep. 1

The time is finally here to invite you into our Airstream journey. We’ve been on the road for almost two months, but today is the first time we’re showing you some of the video footage we’ve been collecting since beginning this adventure.

Selling our House Incognito: The Zimmerman Airstream Journey

It’s the start of a new year, and we’re well into our second month of full-time travel. Each week, we’re getting to see new sights, experience new things, and create new memories as a family. I’m so glad we’re on this journey. The further we get into our adventures, the more I’ve been sharing about how we ended up here, like how we downsized from 3,000 sq. ft. to 200, what our purging process was like, and why we chose to embark on this Airstream journey in the first place. When we first officially decided we wanted to travel full-time in an airstream, we knew that this meant we either needed to see or rent our home.

The 3 Essential Questions I Ask Myself to Make Every Year the Best Year Yet

There are two main components to the turnover of a new year: the closing of one year and the opening of another. I have a streamlined system that I use every single year to make sure that I close one year and open a new one with purpose. Here are three essential questions I ask myself to make every transition to a new year intentional and thoughtful.

A Perfect Family Trip to Gilbert, Arkansas, the Coldest City in the State!

Gilbert, Arkansas is known as one of the smallest and coldest municipalities in Arkansas. You’d think with a population of less than 30, there wouldn’t be much to do, but that’s just not true! We spent the weekend in and around Gilbert when the boys were three and Stella was five, and we had the best time!

Back to the Basics: My 4 Favorite Products for Starting a New Year

A new year is on the horizon, and literally everyone in the world cannot wait for 2021! The truth is, there is nothing inherently magical about a new year. Nothing automatically refreshes and starts from scratch. But I do believe that something happens mentally and emotionally at the beginning of something, whether it’s the beginning of a new day, a new week, or a new year.

Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy: A Zimmerman Family Christmas Tradition

Merry Christmas Eve, Zimmerman family! Tomorrow the kids will wake up to presents under our space-saving Christmas tree, and even though we’re on the road in our Airstream this year, there are a few Christmas traditions we weren’t gonna give up. One of the big ones is our annual Christmas morning breakfast, biscuits and chocolate gravy.

Christmas Traditions We're Taking with Us on the Road

Obviously, our Christmas this year is going to look a little different. We’re spending Christmas on the road this year in our Airstream, and we couldn’t be happier! But it does mean getting a little creative with our typical holiday traditions.
