Maya now officially a Swedish Citizen!

Daddy took the day off from work Friday to make another attempt at reaching San Francisco before noon on a weekday. Our last attempt was not very succeful but this time we set out early, certain that we would make it well before noon when the Swedish Consulate closes. However, we hit traffic, bad traffic and 101 was standing still while the minutes ticked away. Our beloved GPS showed an arrival time of 11:25, then 11:35 and by the time we were back to normal highway speed it showed arrival of 11:48. That would give us a mere 12 minutes to park and get to the 12 floor in the middle of the financial district....not very good odds of making it. Thanks to some aggressive driving we made it there by 11:40, dumped the car at some uber-expensive valet parking, put together the stroller and all the baby stuff like a SWAT-team on a mission and took off running around the block. We made it with bare minutes to spare and I'm sure that the Swedish Consulate closes ON-TIME every day but especially on Friday I was afraid they would cut out early. So, finally our little Maya Anna Mei is now a registered Swedish citizen. We'll get her personnummer in a month and then we can apply for her Swedish passport as well.
