Brian's Parents.

Brian's parents just left a few days ago after a great 2.5 week visit with them.  They had a little jet lag, but adjusted pretty well : )  The boys LOVED having them here, as did we.  

The first thing we did with them was go to Oktoberfest at Brian's base.  We actually did this with them last year too!  JJ got his face painted for the first time and as you can see, it was a huge success.

I'll be adding lots of posts about their visit in the next few days.

Cantina Del Vesuvio.

Last weekend we took a USO tour to a local winery and had a great time.  We got to help harvest the grapes, stomp the grapes, and then had an amazing lunch and drink some wine!  JJ had a great time collecting the grapes and kept running all over the vineyard.  The winery is fully organic and they do all the grape harvesting by hand.  I'm hoping they don't use the grapes that we stomped for next year's wine though!

The man in the white coat is the owner.  He was kind enough to come talk to us even though he is extremely busy right now during harvest.  This is a family owned business that's been making amazing wine and olive oil since 1951.

Here is their cellar.  They only sell wine from their store, not at stores or restaurants.  The wine was amazing and we got a lot to take home : )
