We 1st applied for our passports back in March! The check every line and the mountains of paperwork.

Since kids are minors and their dad lives in another state there was a whole extra mountain of paper to prove that I have permission to get them passports

We took the photos and had our appointment then we waited and waited and waited. Weeks went by I kept checking the website. It said up to 17 weeks for processing. At 18 weeks we all got letters they didn’t like the signature of the official person at the post office and so we had to go back in and do ALL the paperwork again.

Then we waited some more. My passport finally came but there was no sign of the kids, so I waited and then went back into the post office while they called the official folks and checked to see where the kids passports were. Result was they thought any day.

A week and a bit later 2 kids passports in the mail box!

We have plane tickets, train passes, places to sleep, seats on the train under the channel.

55 days from now we will be on our adventures
