I think this sounds super-cool and fun. "Crazy" to me is taking your life savings and betting it on the Super Bowl, or quitting your stable job to pursue an acting career right after your baby is born. Taking a spontaneous road trip just sounds like a blast. I agree that most people find this kind of approach too risky, and that's a shame. This approach to life always reminds me of the line in the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by TS Eliot where he says, "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons". I say keep doing what you're doing and ignore the naysayers.

TL;DR all the comments (I read a lot though). I thought I would add my 2 cents here. I have noticed this myself; people in my circle of friends who do not have children are MUCH less flexible.
I have a couple of related theories:
1) As a parent you get used to occasionally having other people's vomit in your face and diarrhea on your lap, so you learn to flow with life's little hazards; whereas adults without children likely do not experience this, and are used to things being 'just so'.
2) On the other hand, adults without children may be self selecting. They do not have children BECAUSE they want to avoid experiencing these things.
