What’s the Difference Between Family Adventures and Family Travel?
There is a distinct difference between having a family adventure and family travel. Travel implies that you need to go somewhere, whether you take a road trip, flight or boat. An adventure can be in your back yard and is about your perspective. Changing your outlook through these family adventure quotes, and personal development is a powerful thing to enjoying life.
“Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.” – Lovelle Drachman.
For example, yesterday was a rainy wet day, and we had spent the day inside. By the late afternoon there was a light intermittent drizzle and we put on rain jackets and the kids went on a bike ride. They loved splashing through the puddles and we stopped and admired the heavy droplets of rain gathered on leaves. Then, on the way home, they discovered a huge mud puddle in front of the neighbors and splashed and rode for ages. When they came in, covered in mud they were laughing, happy and filled with the joy of adventure.
Here’s a great one that talks about that renewal that adventures bring.
“A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints.” – Wilfred Peterson
Here’s another family adventure quote that encapsulates having a different outlook. It doesn’t say you have to travel to have an adventure. Whatever you do, make it a fun experience with the kids.
“Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell not stuff to show.” – Unknown.
Another good one that reminds us that adventures doesn’t have to be hard-core; they are how we view them.
“Climbing mountains is an act I happen to love, but it is only one form of adventure. There are thousands. In fact, there’s one for every human with the passion to push personal boundaries.”― Mark Jenkins
And another that really captures that the best family adventure can have a simple start.
Some adventures require nothing more than a willing heart and the ability to trip over the cracks in the world. – Seanan McGuire
