@ Frosty 5:30

At dark and frosty 5:30 a.m., we (Rob, Sandy, & Reilly) walked hand-in-hand to the train station for Reilly’s big adventure o’-the-month — passport renewal. Three hours and forty-five minutes later, we boarded a subway train to take us to the US consulate in Milan. We’ve been there many times and we have the trip down to an art-form. We know exactly what train tickets, sub tickets, stops, photos, forms, envelopes, stamps, and procedures to follow. We even have our favorite restaurant picked out in Milan too.

One wonderful lunch later and we were back down the tracks by 1 p.m. The day passed without a glitch. We had an over-excited five year old who spent almost 8 hours on the train with us today. His first remarks in all sincerity when stepping off the train back in our town were, “Ok, I don’t think I want to ride the train for a little while.” Our first remarks were, “Thank you for coming with us today Reilly and making the trip exceptionally longer than it felt the last time.” He said, “Sure, you’re welcome.”
