Road Trip - Hot Springs Arkansas

The first leg of our road trip took us to Hot Springs, Arkansas. After the 7 hour drive I thought a margarita the size of my baby's head was in order!

We set up camp at the Hot Springs National Forest and came to grips with the fact that there would be no going inside the rest of the day. Luckily it cooled down in the evening and we didn't put the rain cover over our tent so we got a lot of fresh air. The kids slept really well and it was nice because we were right next to the bathrooms, no showers though!



One of the bathhouses built over the springs. Only one of them is still active and you can get a thermal bath. I was really expecting some actual bubbly springs that we could get into but they are all covered over now.

The worst painting of Bill Clinton ever, it made us laugh. Clinton graduated from highschool in Hot Springs.

Hiking.

Drinking.

Napping.

Anyone concerned about a lack of trees in the world has clearly never been to Arkansas!

On top of the observatory.

Smores!




Next stop Branson, MO

Great photos. It looks hot! We've been having cooler weather than usual. Rainy and grey. But it's supposed to be 71 today. Miss you all!
