So I haven't done a post about the Marine Corps Ball that we went to on Nov 3.
We came into Auburn, NE at ten last night (it was a two day trip) and so now that I have time I can post about them and get things caught up.
The ball was a blast. Also very interesting. It kind of reminded me of a High School dance, but MUCH classier (most of the time) and a lot more fun.
It made me giggle though cause the girls would be looking at the other girls dresses and hair and the guys were looking at how many ribbons the other guys had on. Here is a picture of me and Scott at the beginning of the ball.
This is a group shot of us and some friends before we got called in for dinner.
After everybody was called in to the dining room by trumpet. Yes, I said by trumpet. Like they did in that one scene in Titanic. They had a little ceremony and video that was very interesting to see. See Facebook for the pics there are too many of them to put up here; people scattered and waited for the food to come.
The salad came first and it was possibly one of the weirdest salad presentations that I have seen, but very cool and really good
.
We then ate dinner which was ok. Scott liked it but I didn't really, and then we got a few pictures with some friends and then went to the casino that was in the hotel and played for a little bit, then went home.
It was a really fun night.
