USA Women's Softball Team bound for Beijing

The family and I went to the 2008 Exhibition game between Nor Cal Assault Collegiate All-Stars vs. USA Softball Women's National team at Sonoma State over the weekend. It was a long HOT day but worth every bit to see Monica Abbott pitch a perfect game and simply put - lightning fast. Camryn and Claire got their USA softballs signed by Monica Abbot, Caitlin Lowe, Vicky Galindo, Crystl Bustos (who hit 2 home runs one of which was a grand slam!), Jennie Finch, Jessica Mendoza to name a few. It was fun to watch excellence up close. I also think it gave Camryn and Claire a renewed appreciatiation for the sport they love. At one point Claire said "I'm going to keep this ball forever and ever!"
