Baby Hat Update

After several weeks and three round trips, the baby hat (See previous post)  finally arrived-back at our front door! It traveled 1,507 miles to get the 3/4ths of a mile from the local post office to our doorstep. See the full itinerary at the bottom - again it reads upwards.

The problem was that we had the wrong zip code. The zip code we used was almost an entire block away! Here is a map to illustrate.

My wife re-mailed it with the correct zip and this time it made it in one trip!

I'm usually impressed with the USPS and the amount of mail they able to quickly deliver. We take them for granted and complain way too much-or do we?

Here is the full travels, beginning with the second (correct) mailing.Total distance 1,816 miles!
