Week 30
By Shelby This was another great week. Monday, we worked from Tidewater Community College’s Joint Use library. It was very nice, probably one of our favorite libraries so far. Interestingly, there is a naval base in Virginia Beach. We saw jets flying over the college all week. After work, I surprised Spencer with a short…

Week 27
By Shelby This was another uneventful week for us, travel-wise. We were still in New York, so we didn’t do too much sightseeing or hiking. Monday we worked from the Dunham Public Library in Whitesboro near Utica. I still wasn’t feeling the greatest, so I worked from the car while Spencer was in the library.…

The weather is getting colder and we got hit by some rain caused by Hurricane Ian. Monday, we worked from the library in Chantilly, Virginia. Unfortunately, Monday and Tuesday…

New England Review

Week 4
By Shelby Starting Sunday night, we stayed in an AirBnB since Spencer’s allergies were bad, along with my cough. We hoped that sleeping in the car wasn’t making Spencer’s allergies worse. The AirBnB was in Wells, Maine, a tiny touristy town on the ocean. We parked at the beach while we were waiting to check-in.…

Initial Reflection
By Spencer It’s been three weeks since we drove away from our apartment in upstate NY. We’ve been very busy working, planning, and making memories. The three weekly posts so far have explained all our fun adventures, but I wanted to add a brief post about some of the specifics of how we are adjusting…

Week 3
By Shelby This week started with our next set of challenges. I came down with a terrible cold. I decided to fight through it and not take the day off from work. We ended up working in a very interesting library in Woburn, a suburb of Boston. The library was old and historic with long…

Week 2
By Shelby Monday To start this week our plan was to work from the McKillop Library, part of Salve Regina University. It was a beautiful old-style building right across the street from seaside mansions. Work went smoothly. I awkwardly heated up a can of soup for lunch from our street parking spot while Spencer ate…
