We have met Tom Armbruster before. He invited us to the world series game at the consulate.
We are on very good terms with him and his staff. They are the ones that we get the 2nd passport from and they do all our visa work. It is important that we remain on good terms with them.
Shrimp bowl, yummy...we did enjoy!

How exciting to meet those men. The cake and ice sculpture are awesome... the Russian singer looks a little silly though. :)

What a cool experience to go on board the Navy Ship. The food presentation looks amazing...I really like the ice sculpture!
