110th Annual Submarine Birthday Ball

April 16, 2010

The Hilton Hawaiian Coral Ballroom

Waikiki

Unfortunately, this day started as a disaster and kind of ended as one. But there was fun had in between... I forgot my camera. Boo. So these are the only photos I got thanks to Lindsay! Charles had the wrong medals on his uniform and had to buy new ones at the last minute....he also forgot his dolphins for his uniform and most importantly he forgot to try on his dress whites to see if they still fit. Bad news is we got dressed at the hotel and didn't find this out until he was getting dressed. Needless to say...THEY DIDN'T FIT! I wanted to kill him, but I didn't want to ruin this fun night. "What am I gonna do?" he asked me with worry. "I don't know...just let me think", I said. So off I went (ball gown and all) downstairs to the store. With scissors in hand, I had a plan. I cut the side seams on his uniform which gave him some room to breathe. I could tell he felt horrible. "No one will notice", I told him. And you know what, no one did.
