Oceanside, California

In October we took a trip with the Swan Family to Oceanside, California. The weather report promised "sun with 0% chance of precipitation" but it was foggy and cloudy and rainy the entire time we were there. We had a blast anyway. It was fun to spend time with the family and take an actual vacation. We desperately needed it!

Uncle Brian doing a "beer brat binge". Inspired by the Tim-Tam Slam, the BBB is done by biting the ends of a bratwurst off and attempting to use it as a straw to drink Apple Beer. It didn't work very well and resulted in Brian and Phill ending up with a healthy dose of pure brat grease.
