SURFOR Ball!

Last night David and I attended our very first Navy ball, the 33rd annual Surface Warrior Ball at the Sheraton in San Diego. We weren't really sure what to expect but ended up having the BEST time! I really hope it's the first of many balls we are able to attend!!

The Navy holds this type of event to "congratulate surface Sailors on the year's successes, recognize families and provide an opportunity for different commands to interact outside of the work environment."

The evening kicked off with a centerpiece contest with entries from each command competing to best display the theme of the ball: "Surface Warriors Around the World." There were several other competitions that occurred throughout the previous week and of course, USS Bonhomme Richard cleaned house when it came to winning awards and trophies! They even broke the record in attendance with a grand total of 169 attendees!

It was a night full of good food, great friends, lots of laughs and crazy dance moves! I'll certainly never forget it.

Enjoy the pics!
Love,
Lisa
