Summer is truly over...

And the summer has come to a close and no it is not because of the Equinox that occurred on Monday of last week, rather it is because we just attended the final game of the regular Baseball season and the last game for our 2008 Giants. It was a sad day but a good day. Not only did all three of us get to attend this game and enjoy the experience of AT&T Park but the SF Giants did win most elegantly against the "most hated" Dodgers! It was a beautiful day in the City and Isabel, I think, was the most aware of the atmosphere and the excitement that happens at a live baseball game. Isabel's first game was Opening Day 2007, she was approximately 7 weeks old, and I have watched her grow up in her attitude when attending games and it was amazing to watch her enjoy the day! Earl, on the other hand, was sad and repeated many times that he wouldn't have baseball until April, even though there are playoffs well into October, and I could hear the sadness around the Ballpark knowing that they would not back for a game until the new season. I never realy mourn the end of the season so much as the solidification that summer is truly over and I will have to wait for another 6 months for the sunshine, smell of grass and the 7th inning stretch! Vamos Gigantes! Now for football!
