Today we made a fun drive to Tallahassee. By fun I mean we drove three hours through hurricane and then tropical storm "Ida." Why you ask? We did so because we had to go and pick up our Criminal Background Check. Normally we wouldn't have to, but we found out this week that the US Postal service is still re-routing our mail to North Carolina. Once we picked up our form we stopped by Wachovia to get it notarized. When the notary looked over he realized the FDLE had already notarized it. From there Jack got the idea that it had stopped raining so maybe we should walk the block down to the Secretary of State. Little did we know that it, among the next two places we walked, were the incorrect offices. After one fall in front of the capitol and a near slip on a storm drain we finally made it to another branch where we were informed it was actually more than ten miles away to the correct location. AS soon as we heard this we had to hoof it back to our car because our meter was almost out. Once we finally made it back to our car and were covered in sweat because of the terrible Ida induced humidity.
Finally, we drove down past the capitol building and found the official office and got our C.R.C. apostilled. We finished and decided as a reward we were going to go to Olive Garden. Two bowls of pasta, a salad and a soup, and a desert of Zepoli (Awesome donuts and chocolate sauce) later we headed back home. We are finally finished collecting our initial documents!
A tank of gas: $30.00
Snacks for the road: $5.00
Criminal Record Check: $28.00
Apostille: $20.00
Olive Garden: $35.00
Having all our documents together: PRICELESS!!!
