A family spent four weeks traveling across the western U.S., visiting Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Montezuma Castle, Horseshoe Bend, Peekaboo Canyon, and Zion National Park. The family combined sightseeing with volunteer work, which produced meaningful experiences, reconnections with old friends, new friendships, and closer family bonds. Business ownership and financial obligations nearly prevented the trip because of fears that stepping away would cause customers to abandon the business. The couple chose a simple decision framework — 'Experiences over things' — to prioritize trips and personal growth over material accumulation. Prioritizing experiences led to deeper connections, increased learning, stronger memories, and greater life satisfaction.
In those four weeks, we visited: Los Angeles The Grand Canyon Red Rock Country in Sedona The Vermilion Cliffs Montezuma Castle National Monument Horseshoe Bend Peekaboo Canyon Zion National Park In addition to visiting these sights, we also spent time doing volunteer work as a family, which led to some equally amazing experiences: We visited old friends, made new ones, and drew closer together.
You get the feeling that if you get off the wheel, everything is going to fall apart. That customers will stop coming, or caring. That the business will fall apart. Deeper connections, personal growth Then there's the combination of bills, distractions, and other things that always threaten to get in the way. In the end, though, my wife and I made the decision to go on this life-changing adventure.
