home at last?

I put the van in park and said "honey, we're home" as we pulled the airstream into slot number 85 at the Blue Ox RV park. We're across from the pool and laundry room and we have a tree. I can't say much for the aesthetics of the place but it's friendly, clean and we're awfully happy to just have a place to be for a week. We haven't spent more than 5 days in the same place since the beginning of May and we're a bit travel-weary after the 3,000 mile jaunt with a 13 month old. This week is devoted to figuring out our professional obligations and trying to get a feel for the area; I'm gonna go look around the ER tomorrow and work my first shift on Wednesday. We found the good grocery and the hip part of Corvallis. If Albany has a hip part, we haven't seen it yet. We're a bit on the frazzled side being this far from home and not really having a home but we're cracking ourselves up and maintaining our baseline level of belligerently naive optimism about the possibility of existing as full-time wanderers.
