**I typed this whole story out and Blogger/Picasa decided to loose it all - you will laugh once you read below, because I do believe our whole passport experience was jinxed!**
So a few weekends back we had a total run around trying to get our passport paperwork filed. I took Bella and we got our pictures taken at Rite Aid before we had to head to Girl Scouts. Chris took Vincent and they got haircuts and then went to get their pictures taken. They first broke the camera at CVS before they headed to Costco to get them taken. We then all met up at our Chino Hills post office. They told us they could not help us because we didn't have an appointment. Mind you there was no line and we are just a nice little family of 4 - I had all the paperwork organized and everything! The lady said we could go to Pomona post office and they take walk-ins, however they closed at 12:30 and it was 12, so we certainly wouldn't make it. Lady, you don't tell the Calagnas' they can't do something! So we hauled our booties to the Pomona post office and got there at 12:15 just to see a sign on the door that said the passport office closed at 11am that day. Come on! The man told us we could go to the Pomona Library and they would help us. We headed over there and proceeded to wait for a good 3 hours. Chris had to head home because they only took check - of course he couldn't find his check book, so he grabbed mine. I told him I better get reimbursed - Ha Ha! Besides a few other random things that happend during our wait at the library, all in all, the kids were well behaved and guess what...it is DONE!
We get to go to THE BAHAMAS!!! I think all that running around will be worth it in the end!
