A trip to Florence

On wednesday this week (11-12-08) our little famiglia went for a trip to Firenze. It was raining in Bologna and the traffic was unbearable. We got Giada ready and off we left at 9am. After passing through the mountains and into Tuscany the sun was shining and turned out to be a beautiful day. We arrived in Florence and rushed to the foto shop's suggested to us, our appointment was at 11am and it was already 10:55am. As usual we were running late (something that we are very famous for with friends and family--Giacomo's fault =) As soon as we got to the foto shop, it was also time for Baby Giada to eat. She started to fuss and we couldn't take any picture that she wasn't crying. I gave her some milk with the bottle and the lady was able to get a picture of her but frowning.
We got the pictures and off the the US Consulate we go for her birth announcement and US passport. It was funny seeing Giacomo with the stroller, everytime there was a step he would lift the stroller and carry it like a luggage. The consulate is located along the Arno river. We spotted it right away because of the American flag waiving. As soon as I saw it, I felt proud and a sense of joy. I guess I miss America. We went in after all the thorough security checks. We had all the documents ready , turned them in and the Consul asked us to raise our right hands and sign some documents and offcourse pay our dues. Through all this time Giada was asleep(after her meal she dozes off). Pictures to come...
