The great thing about winning the World Series is that the season doesn't just end with a sad, "wait 'till next year," but ends with a celebration. Hugs and cheers at the last out, trophy presentations, champagne celebrations in the locker room, and when the team gets home a huge parade down Constitution Avenue. Owen, Elaine and I donned our Nats gear and were joined by Grandpa Don to walk down to the parade, We found a spot near the Canadian Embassy and soaked in the celebration, double decker busses going by with the players, and lots of emotional speeches. It wasn't always easy to see (unless you climbed up a tree), but the crowds had great energy, and we all had a great time celebrating with our team and our town. We even managed to meet up with Billy amidst the throngs of people :-)
