Giants win!!<\/p>\n
I’ve been here for all three World Series championships and I even had tickets back in 2010. It’s such a cool thing to be part of. And the games were amazing. <\/p>\n
But this year was different. <\/p>\n
The whole family got into it. Micky had a debate about who the MVP should be. Luka loved watching the games (and he’s not going to understand why they’ve stopped). And even Amelia was willing to watch if it meant not going to bed too early. <\/p>\n
So for the first time we became a sports family. And it’s over after about a week. And that feels perfect. <\/p>\n
