Look who's famous....T-bone on TV!

Check out who we saw on TV the other night at the M's game....we knew he was there just didn't think he was going to show up on our TV! The M's ended up winning in walk off fashion in the bottom of the 9th with a bases loaded single by Ichiro. Nice work, T-bone!

Depoe Bay with Team Citrano

What a week and what a view! We spent the last week relaxing (as much as you can with two little ones) at the beach in a superb condo. Big thanks to Trent & Shawn for their hospitality. We ate fantastic food, saw several great sunsets, admired dozens upon dozens of gray whales, lounged on a few different beaches, made a stop at Rogue Brewing World Headquarters in Newport, played 9 holes of golf, and even had a great visit with the senior Citranos. Such a great time....we hated to leave.

Frisco!

Team Thompson took a brief trip to San Francisco over the 4th of July weekend. We had a quick stopover in Sacramento on the way down to sleep and get a little extra Nana/Papa/cousin time. It was fast but we got to see them all again on Saturday for the 1st Giants game.

The trip to SF was a pilgrimage of sorts with Mom and Dad finally taking Will to see the Giants in their home park. Will had been to 11 Major League stadiums before getting to see his team in their own venue. Bad parents! It was well worth the long drive down. He absolutely loved playing ball on the little field inside the stadium (though he was not so happy when we had to leave). The game was a hit too....he's getting old enough to sit, watch, and appreciate for several innings. Jessi enjoyed having her own seat to sit, stand, and play in. Will loved his new Pablo Sandoval shirt...wanted to sleep in it and even wear it the next day (Mom and Dad nixed wearing it 2 days in a row). We all had a blast taking the cable car over to Fisherman's Wharf and experiencing the Exploratorium on our one day off from games.

Last but far from least, we got to spend a little time with Nana & Papa, the younger Thompsons (my brother, Auntie April, and cousins Haley & Owen) and our great friends Carrie & Chris. So good to see everyone. We even had a cameo visit from Team Citrano! SOOOOO good to see Uncle T-bone and Auntie Shawn after almost a full year away in China. We've missed them SO SO much! Can't wait to see you guys next week!
