USMC Birthday Ball

Last Saturday, Karl and I went to the USMC Birthday Ball to celebrate the 232nd birthday of the Marine Corps; it was in a beautiful hotel just outside the city and the weather was perfect. It was a wonderful ceremony and Karl even got to escort the cake! We went to the Ball with our friends, Matt and Mikki, and had such a great time- the five-course dinner and guest speaker were both fantastic. Wish we could have birthday ball more than once a year!
