I love the mini-adventure!
I have a blast just exploring a room I’ve never been in. I love the sensation of not knowing what’s around the corner or over the hill. Awesome post Jay!

Jay,
I like this whole mini-adventure concept more than the grand adventure. I spontaneously do a mini-adventure every week if I want. I like going to unexplored restaurants or parts of a city that I’ve never seen before. You never know what you’re going to find!

Jay – I love the mini-adventure concept and your post is really well done! I really need to work on taking more mini-adventures in my own life. I’m thinking about writing a post pretty soon about things we can do that bring about happiness without spending money so stayed tuned for that on PP!

I’m glad everyone is enjoying this post! I love the idea of mini-adventures, and always have. I don’t drive anymore, so I don’t get to go do them as much as I would like, but I get out every chance I get. I just love exploring new places, and learning new things. The mini-adventure is a great way to make new friends, too. Just strike up a conversation with the people you meet along the way, and instant friendships can be made.

Jay, thank you so much for submitting this post at exactly the perfect time. I’ll never understand how that worked out so magically, but I’m just glad it did… ’cause you are the king of mini-adventures. I remember what got me thinking about them was when you told me you went to see the King Tut exhibit downtown. I thought about how amazing it was that you were seeing real Egyptian treasures that were buried for thousands of years on only recently discovered. THAT is a fantastic adventure in my book!
Anyway, thanks for this wonderful post!
well done! I couldn’t agree more. I actually just wrote about a similar topic. Not mini- adventures, but how to see your world in a new way. We don’t need to venture far or at all to get the most out of life. Amazing how a lot of us bloggers think a like at certain times.

This is a wonderful idea! I love the little unexpected things we find usually when we’re not even looking. Mini-adventures are great and something I would love to do more of. Now that the weather is nicer walking places with the kids is an option I wonder where we’ll go today?
Thanks Jay!

Hi Jay!
I love the phrase mini-adventure. That is how I feel whenever I go out of the house to do an errand or get together with a friend or whatever. I never what I will find or see which makes it so much more fun. The world is such a wonderful source of inspiration regardless of where you live on this beautiful planet.

Hey everyone,
I’m sorry I haven’t been responding to comments today like I should. Today has been…interesting to say the least. I just wanted to stop in again and tell everyone thanks for reading this, and I’m glad you all are enjoying it.
Lisis, it seems magical because it IS magical! That’s just the way I roll
And you’re right, my trip to the civic center to see the King Tut Exhibit was the PERFECT example of a mini-adventure! In fact, it had all the trappings of a storybook adventure. There was danger (the civic center is NOT in a good part of town!), drama (I got lost on my way there), a queen (or at least some of her artifacts), and lots of treasure (even though I could only look at it, and not take any of it home). All in all, that was a good day

Jay, I just love your outlook on life! I find it very inspiring. Like you, I’ve had a crazier than expected Memorial Day and haven’t been as present in the blogosphere as I’d like today. I’m sure we’ll get more time to catch up later this week.
Thanks to everyone who has visited and commented today. Happy Monday!!!
