Several years ago, my husband and I took a hard look at the life we were creating with our son. After the sudden death of a dear friend’s wife, the stark reality of what really matters hit us square in the face. We decided at that very minute to reinvent our American dream. Instead of having it all, we want to see it all. Instead of collecting things, we are collecting memories and adventures. This is a list of the top family adventure quotes for kids. I hope they feed your wanderlust.
