What is most likely the author's intent by mentioning the "Rodeo Drive shopping spree" in the following paragraph?

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.
