On Sunday we went to watch the America’s Cup Finals again.  Oracle Team USA started out with a 2-point penalty and was getting their butts kicked early on.  At one point, it seemed pretty pathetic and that the Kiwis would take it all very easily.

On Sunday, the score was 8 to 3 with New Zealand favored to win it that day.  They only need to get to 9 to win the cup and there were two races scheduled that day.

Once again, I ran to the park with Kumquat in the stroller and we got a good spot on the lawn again with a giant beanbag and all.  We had plenty of time to do a little shopping in the stores and grabbed lunch from the truck parked inside before the races began.

We had empanadas, garlic fries, and shared the water bottle of wine that we brought from home.

Well, the two races were actually pretty exciting to watch and USA won both races!  Amazing.

There was a race yesterday (Monday) and two today (Tuesday).  USA won all three and now their tied at 8 to 8!  Who would have thought this would go on for so long?!  Everyone expected there would be a winner by the end of summer but it’s fall now and we still don’t have a winner.  If the conditions cooperate, there is one more race scheduled for tomorrow.  Too bad I have to go to work because it would have been fun to go watch it.  I honestly don’t care who wins.  It’s just been a fun event to mark the summer of 2013 for us.

Update 9/25/13: They won the America’s Cup today!  Wow, unbelievable.
