Home is in sight...

I think we are 100 something miles away from Grants Pass. Our plan is to drive 2.5 hrs today to get to Beverly Beach (in Oregon), after a visit to the Redwoods, of course, and then stay at Beverly Beach either 1 or 2 nights, and then drive 2 or so hours back home. I am torn on whether to stay 1 or 2 nights. This has been a fantastic road trip and we've enjoyed it very much--in that sense, I don't want it to end. On the other hand, I am missing home life...The things I miss the most:

Warm Showers...well, showers with warm temps that last more than 5 min. Today the pilot light was out and my shower was very, very cold.
Our Cat...I worry that she must be lonely! Our friends are checking on her, but the poor little thing must miss us so much.
A couch to relax on...we have a couch here, but it's Isaac and Kaleb's bed. When they're down for bed, all we have is our bed. I just want to hang out on the couch for a bit.
Not wearing "camping clothes." Even going into the city, I've constantly felt like I looked like a camper. I just want to dress up pretty 1 day, and then the feeling will be over. :)
Our own laundry room...We've seen some pretty decent public laundry rooms, but it stinks to have to fork out $10 in quarters every time we do laundry. Most of the laundry facilities close at 8 pm, so no throwing a load in just before bed. We got a new washing machine a few (or several?) months before we left on this trip...I miss it. :)
Our backyard...Just letting the boys run out and play in our safe, fenced backyard while I cook dinner or clean up the family room or whatever. Playing at playgrounds on the road always takes at least one parent standing out at the playground, in the hot sun...
Closet Space...I'm kind of tired of all of my clothes being wrinkled!!
Cooking....I've cooked very few meals on this trip, and I really like to cook. I've been reading Rachel Ray and Bon Appetite magazines and I want to cook!!!
Familiar Faces...We have seen so many zillions of strangers on this trip. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came.... :)

Karry misses work, but then he added "a little bit." :) And TV. And shaving in the shower.

The boys miss toys and stuffed animals. Ruby misses space to crawl.
