Marine Ball 2011

Seth and I were able to attend the Marine Ball on Saturday.  I was able to pull out my Oliver Tolentino gowns and even lent an Oliver gown to a pregnant friend (I used that when I was pregnant with Tiger).  I found time to doll up, left the kids with a neighbor, and was an adult if only for four hours.

Our mandatory prom pose.

It was a great event and as usual the Marines did a fantastic job.  My only question about the Marine Ball is: where was the cake?   I have to witness the youngest and oldest Marine chow down on what looked like a very delicious birthday cake in red and gold.  When my dessert came it was a  plate of assorted desserts with no cake.  I like fancy desserts but when I go to a birthday party I want cake.  Even more delicious, cake cut with a sword.  Future note to self: next birthday get sword to cut cake.

Happy birthday Marines!
