JOURNAL ENTRY

FRIDAY
APRIL 28th, 2017

Yesterday, I spent a couple hours at our campsite going through the rig. Organizing cupboards, sorting dirty and clean clothes, and doing a bit of packing up of things for our arrival back at the house. I almost just wrote the words 'back at home', but really, home is here right now. We have everything we need to live and really, we don't need much. 

The bed is piled with laundry- all ready to be washed!

We are all showered, organized, and the plan is to grab lunch at Alex's favorite restaurant in Sunriver (Sunriver Brewing Company), hit the laundromat in Bend, buy large storage containers to put gear in when we're home, resupply groceries, and begin our official drive back to Washougal. Knowing us, we will probably arrive at home late tonight, or may just park it up on Mt Hood (weather depending).

I really can't believe we have been on the road for just about six weeks. Blows my mind to think that. How can it be?!? And, I honestly feel like I could stay out here. I am not excited to go nor ready to be back home. And this morning, Alex was a bit out of sorts- he complained that his shoes were too small (really, overnight your feet grew that much?) Steve and I talked, and know that we are all going to have a bit of a shock and an adjustment going back.
