What is most likely the author's intent by mentioning the "Rodeo Drive shopping spree" in the following paragraph? When my parents said the three of us were moving out to California, to a place just north of Los Angeles, my mind immediately went to thoughts of Disneyland and Hollywood,
glitz and glamour. I imagined a Rodeo Drive shopping spree to pick out a bikini for the endless days I would be spending on the beach. However, I'd forgotten about my
parents' penchant for the unconventional; they're definitely "the road less traveled" kind of people. Mom had a gopher snake for a pet when she was younger, and Dad was
never happier than when he was climbing near-vertical cliffs that only mountain goats could love. These are not city folk.
