lizvogelWe got our passport applications submitted yesterday!
It was a fairly painless process, mostly due to having read the website and done all the paperwork in advance. (The passport guy was impressed.) There was a bit of a wait at the passport office, but they had coloring books in the waiting room. ;-) And after the weeks-long wait for AAA to replace their photo printer, what was one more hour?
Am displeased about having to let my original birth certificate out of my custody -- hey, that thing's a classic, if not quite an antique -- but chose to roll with it.
Should get our passports in a few weeks. Yes, there's about 3000 things yet to do before The Trip can be a reality, but the passports are Step One.

We're thinking early October; apparently there's a Battle of Hastings re-enactment that the housemate is convinced I must see. (I'd likely be just as happy to prowl the old documents and such, but it's as good a way to pick a date as any, and should still serve for the combination of decent weather, best prices, and reduced crowds.) We really must come up with better directions than "Thataway", but hopefully I'll have some brains to spare for that once The Thing goes live (Real Soon Now).
