Newlyweds Jessa and Ben Seewald hit the road on Friday for a trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas – about 200 miles from the family's home in Tontitown.

The couple shared several photos from their road trip, and appear to be enjoying the time they have with each other and without children.

"Headed to Hot Springs for the weekend!" Jessa announced on her Instagram account on Friday. The 22-year-old shared photos and videos of her husband behind the wheel on the trip, and a picture in front of the Bleu Mountain Grill in Hot Springs.

Jessa also shared videos of her husband singing in the car, and tens of thousands of Duggar fans "liked" the posts. Ben impersonated Gene Autry on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and sang Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Andy Williams' "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," and the Doris Day hit "When I Fall in Love."

"This is what I get to listen to in the car!" Jessa beamed. "Love you, Babe!"

A Bible passage was the first photo Jessa shared after their Hot Springs trip, and she added the caption: "ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God." The notations written in the Bible demonstrate that 2 Timothy 4:12-17 is a passage that Jessa has reflected on.

On Tuesday, Jessa shared the lyrics to the hymn, "Did You Think to Pray?" and screenshot Psalms 51:10-13. The "19 Kids & Counting" castmember put a star next to verse 10: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

Jessa and Ben, who aspires to become either a pastor or a missionary, frequently share their faith with hundreds of thousands of fans on their social media networks. The couple celebrated their one-month wedding anniversary on December 1.
