It's Official

A trip to the DMV usually marks an important milestone in your life. First driver's license, first car registration, a move from one state to another, a brand new car.

Today was no exception. We spent a good chunk of the day traipsing from the insurance company office to the driver's license office to the tax collector (in Florida, licenses are handled separately from vehicle registrations.) At the end of it all, in addition to frayed nerves and overtired children we achieved almost complete success: both vehicles registered in Florida and a new Florida driver's license for me. (Cindy will take care of hers tomorrow, sans kids.)

Even though we've taken many steps toward Florida over the past few months, there is something uniquely significant about getting a new license plate for your car. Especially one with an entirely different state name on it!
