Sometimes I feel so lucky to live where we live.  On Sunday morning, we packed up the stroller and headed out for an action-packed day.  It started with a good run all the way to America’s Cup Park.

At the lawn, all the beanbags were claimed so Kumquat and I found an open spot and set-up camp.  A few minutes later, I looked over and saw an empty giant pillow AND a beanbag chair!!  Yes!  After looking around to make sure I wasn’t stealing it, I dragged it over to our campsite and it was ours for the rest of the day!! Woohoo!

For lunch, I went over to the food trucks parked nearby and grabbed a bacon-y feast of a fried chicken sandwich, bahn mi, and chili cheese fries.  The food truck was called Bacon Bacon so EVERYTHING had bacon in it.  There goes my low-cholesterol diet right out the door!!  It went perfectly with the water bottle full of wine that we brought from home.  That saved us about $22!

They also had these nifty water stations for refilling your water bottle (with actual water).

We got an awesome view of the race from the big screen and they have cool visual tracking technology to help us see how fast they’re going and where the start and finish lines are on the water.

The lawn got packed quickly as the first race was about to start and as people were practically sitting on top of each other, we had a luxo spot on the pillow with Kumquat’s stroller folded flat on the floor.

I managed to buckle Kumquat into the half-stroller and pulled the shade over her.  It was PERFECT!  She actually slept almost two hours and woke up right after the second race finished.  That was some pretty ideal timing.

Both races were close and really fun to watch.  Who thought sailing could be so exciting!?!  By the end of the afternoon, Jes was sunburned, Kumquat had a runny nose, and I was exhausted.

We had a great time and got a good dose of Vitamin D too!
