Leaving West Hartford

Today was a very rough day. I don’t know that I have ever felt so much stress. The passport office did give us some home when we called them at 8am. Larry would be able to get another passport today, however they advised that we arrive before 1pm. The passport office is 1.5 hours from the house and we had a TON of things to do before we could leave.

We tackled the list with a vengence. Several friends came to our rescue and I am sure more would have had we asked. The Kumpas took the girls for the day and the Bowins helped us run errands. It was a rushed day and it left us no time to tell people goodbye. We finished the list around 2pm. Larry drove (way too fast) to the passport office in Norwalk, CT. We arrived around 3. We were EXTREMELY lucky to get a very nice passport agent who turned his passport in less than an hour. I wish that we would have gotten her name and sent a thank you to her! We all cheered when she told us she could do it.

We then drove to the Raddison at JFK. We found an awesome restaurant called…. A very nice Italian place not too far from the airport. It was a great last dinner before leaving the states.






This is one last picture of our house as we were pulling out of the driveway. Sad :(
