By Shelby This week we worked on the eastern edge of Kentucky before traveling through West Virginia. The weather is finally cooling down after the crazy heat and humidity we’ve been through this summer. Spencer is definitely enjoying the cooler temperature. I’m just wishing it won’t get any colder. Monday we worked from the public…

By Shelby Since Monday was a holiday, all the libraries in Jeffersonville, Indiana were closed. We went to Perrin Family Park to work instead. It was very humid. The temperature was finally comfortable at 75 degrees, but the humidity made it unbearable. Eventually, we had to use AC. For lunch, we made Philly cheese steaks.…

By Shelby This has been an interesting week. We started in a suburb of the third largest city in the US, Chicago, passed through rural Indiana, and ended up near another large city, Louisville, Kentucky. We also crossed from central time to eastern time. This week started in Naperville, a very nice suburb of Chicago.…

By Shelby Monday we worked from the library in Ballwin, Missouri. It was recently renovated and was very nice. In the morning, however, as the brick exterior of the building heated up, it made loud cracking noises. It sounded like people were just clapping randomly every few minutes. It was weird. After work, we went…

By Shelby This week started our first week back in the east half of the US. To me, it definitely has a different feel from the western half. We’re out of the vast plains of the central US and back into the forested and more densely developed areas of the east. The temperature is cooler…

By Shelby Casper was a pretty neat city. It’s located in the middle of a desert and is known for its oil production. We got the cheapest gas here we’ve gotten in a long time – about $3.30. That was a nice break from the $5 per gallon prices we’ve been paying. On Monday, we…

By Shelby My cold was still pretty bad this week. I mostly rested in the car Monday while Spencer worked from Planet Fitness and then the library. Luckily, I was able to find some shade to park the car in. Unfortunately, the tree providing the shade dripped sap all over the car. After Spencer finished…

By Shelby Monday, we worked from our seaside Airbnb. We moved the dining room table to in front of the window, so we could see the ocean while we worked. Luckily the fog that had been hanging around since we arrived cleared up a little, so we could actually see the water and beach. By…

By Shelby Olympia is very different from Yakima. Where Yakima was in a desert, it seems like Olympia is in the middle of a forest. The weather is much cooler, in the 70s and low 80s compared to the high 80s and 90s in Yakima. It’s definitely a good place to be while the rest…

By Shelby After doing laundry Sunday morning, we decided to move on from Spokane. Neither of us really cared for Spokane. It seemed kind of dirty and the Planet Fitnesses weren’t very nice. We drove a couple of hours to the smaller city of Yakima ahead of schedule. Along the way, we stopped at a…
