Highlights include:
Penguins! This actually has nothing to do with the ball. It was held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. My favorite thing about this hotel are the african penguins and turtles that live there. Before the ball even started we took a walk down to see the birds nuzzle down for bedtime. I love penguins.
Uniforms! The evening was a tribute to heroes. To highlight the history of the Air Force they dressed in period uniforms from WWI through to the conflicts of today. Being a history and costume buff I was thrilled. They did a wonderful job.
Dresses! As I get more and more into clothes construction and fashion I find myself constantly looking and evaluating the clothes around me. Needless to say the ball was a wonderful place to see al the pretty dresses. Also...I got to wear a pretty dress. Unfortunately, the pictures we took do not showcase the beading that was on the waist of my dress. None of them show the beads! Typical.
Food! It was yummy. We had prime rib. I swear our table alone was a served a whole cow. I ate two pieces of the chocolate ganache cake (thanks to my husband handing over most of his).
Company! The people at our table were wonderful and I enjoyed talking with them. I loved the conversation and the camaraderie. But most of all I enjoyed the time with my husband. It was special to just be on his arm all night. The hardest part was not reaching over to kiss him all the time (no kissing in mess dress). It was a pretty fabulous night.
Then we left during the dancing and snuggled up our little girl. Good night.

So glad you enjoyed good food and a good time! And no ball is complete without penguins. ;)
I'm so happy to meet another blogger from Hawaii! There needs to be more of us. :-)
The Air Force Ball sounds like it was a lot of fun! I'm jealous. ;-)
Sounds wonderful :) Love the fact that there were penguins!
