Michelle Obama Christens Ship, Breaks Bottle Of Champagne (PHOTOS)

Michelle Obama visited Pascagoula, Mississippi on Friday where she was briefed by Coast Guard and county officials on the Gulf oil spill. After, she christened the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stratton ship, breaking a champagne bottle on the boat after two swings. (Good thing she had practice earlier this week!) For the occasion, she wore a Peter Som dress with a striped, pastel bodice and a sparkly silver skirt. Check out pictures below.
