238th Army Birthday trip
This past Friday, June 14th, was the U.S. Army's 238th birthday. It was also the 60th anniversary of the armistice ending the Korean War (or at least the active fighting part). To my division's commanding general, it was a good reason to have an Army Birthday Ball. To me it was the perfect excuse to take a weekend trip.
So SY and I dropped off the kids with the grandparents, left the car in Seoul, and took the KTX train down to the Hotel Inter-Burgo in Daegu, where the ball was. We got there about two hours before the festivities started, so we checked into our room and went for a little stroll before getting dressed up.
(At ~$10, the lobby had the most expensive Tabasco I've ever seen.)
Events like this have 7 distinct phases, and this was no different.
