The MALS-11 Ball was held up at the Pechanga Casino in Temecula, Ca. We got a room so we could celebrate without worrying about the drive home. Before we checked-in we went to BevMo - which is my new favorite store!! Michael and I enjoyed a few beverages while getting ready before we headed up to the hospitality suite to meet up with some others.
Michael and his drink of choice (and looking all handsome!):
I'm a beer girl ... always have been :P
Down in the ball room with the XO, Maj Kelley, before the ceremony:
Waiting for the ceremony to start:
There was a lot of pageantry in the ceremony - which was really different then the balls we attended while in Oki. Here are the different Marine uniforms (and a short description of the current events/missions) throughout the years:
Michael got ahold of the camera:
Getting ready to head to the club in the casino:
Michael set off the metal detectors at the club - security thought it was his medals ... it was his flask :} It made for a much cheaper night!
We were both struggling the next day :P We are definitely not the party animals we were in college - our bodies won't let us!
