Sometimes the best adventures are the simplest ones. Earlier this week, I surprised my husband with a night out to see the The Saltaires Chorus, an acclaimed 50-member men’s a cappella chorus based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 1989, the group specializes in the classic four-part barbershop harmony style and has even been officially designated as “Cultural Ambassadors of the State of Utah.”
My husband was a little worried when I said we were going out. We’re currently in the middle of an RV remodel, and like many remodeling projects, the budget is tight. What he didn’t know was that the event was actually free. The only thing we spent money on was a soda to share and a bag of popcorn, which made the evening feel like an even bigger win.

The performance was held at the historic Peery's Egyptian Theater, an old building filled with character and history. Just walking into the theater felt like stepping back in time. I’ll have to save the story about the theater itself for another blog post because it deserves its own spotlight.
The show lasted about an hour and a half, but honestly it flew by. The theater was about 75% full, and the energy in the room made the performance even more enjoyable. The harmonies were incredible, and every song was polished and entertaining. Our favorite performers were the men wearing the brown outfits—their stage presence and sound really stood out to us.

One thing this experience reminded us is how important it is to make time for small adventures, even when life feels busy or budgets feel tight. This summer we’ve made a commitment to think outside the box and find fun things to do that are free or nearly free. Once we return to full-time RV travel, that mindset will be essential. When you’re traveling long-term, finding affordable entertainment is part of the adventure itself.

The truth is, there are amazing experiences happening all around us—community concerts, cultural events, local performances, and historic venues—many of them free. You just have to look for them and be willing to try something new.

We had a great time, shared some laughs, enjoyed great music, and made a memory together. Nights like this prove that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a meaningful experience.
And now we’re already looking forward to the next adventure.
