My passport is a temporary "emergency" passpost and I need to get a new one. This requires simply downloading the application from the Internet and filling it out, but wait there is one more thing...a passport photo. FYI if you want to know why I have an "emergency" passport look back at the post explaining our "Unexpected Trip to Houston!" in the archives on the right.
So we went into the city of Inverness with three tasks...1)Light bulbs for the car head lights 2)My Passport photo 3)Post it in the mail.
Light bulb was pretty quick and easy but the passport photo became the never ending search, only to discover there was nowhere in the entire city of Inverness to get a US passport photo. Four hours later and about 50 digital photos taken and rejected we finally had the winner and printed it out at Boots (like Walgreens)!!!
We had to take a break and get a drink and some chicken to give us strength to reinvigorate our smiles to finish our "work" as we kept telling Gaius. 
All my boys were happy after they filled their tummies.
Gaius trying to find a way to entertain himself in Boots while we tried to get a digital photo to US specs.
The winning photo by the end of the day - my hair was flat and we were all fed up, so it does not look that great but it meets US specs. Good thing I only have to use this passport for ten years!!!
The boys reward at the end of a long day were, a ride on the bus, a little ball, and time to play in the toy store.
All's well that ends well!
