My friend from Japan was visiting so we had a blast. I plan on visiting her in Japan soon! I am praying on it.
My friend happened to be the first Japanese American student at Spelman College from 1993-1997. She is a dear and I am thankful for our years of friendship.
I am very proud of her accomplishments for AKA gave her a platform to work with while she was in college in developing the dynamic woman she is today.
What's the closest thing you have to a time machine?
Submitted by Verisimilitude.
Memories from my past and the library to research life before I was born. I find the music and spoken word media I have in Cd format, cassette tape and vinyl to be an invaluable source of information for me or anyone interested in learning about the past.
Visiting a museum to learn about the past world too is one of the time machine's that I use to know what was life like before my existence.
The best time machine is listening to a senior citizen share their personal stories of what life was like in the past. I am always enlightened!
Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
