Gina and I took a trip to Mexico a number of years ago with my mom and some other family so we got our passports as needed for the international travel.

She just got a letter about upcoming expiration and passport renewal so we were talking about whether we needed them or not. We have no plans for travel outside of the country so at first we thought to let them lapse.

Then we talked some more and figured that with all the shit happening in America right now, it might not be a bad idea to be prepared to flee the country… you know, just in case.

Renewal it is!
