Let me give you a little history behind this picture…

“just saw the Google car drive by my moms house. I grabbed my family as it drove by and we waved. Maybe well be on street view.”‘

We had just returned from a long day at the beach and we were getting ready to put the kids down for a nap.  As I was getting out of the car, I noticed the funny-looking Google car driving one street over.  I screamed to Tiff and the kids:  ”Quick!  Everybody out to the front of the house, the Google car is coming!”.  Of course, being the uber-techo-dork that I am, I sounded like an incoherent baboon screaming for my family to come join me at the side walk.  I told them to smile and wave as the car drove by, my Wife rolling her eyes the entire time.  As the car zipped by, the lady driving was having a pretty good laugh at the four of us standing out there waving.  My Wife then turns to me and says:  ”I Don’t get it…”

Fast forward six months…

I was getting directions today as we were heading to the UCLA Women’s Volleyball game and I noticed Google Maps had an announcement up about Street View Hawaii being available.  I, of course, immediately looked up my Mom’s address and sure enough we were there!  Once again I screamed for my family to come and take a look at the computer.  Now they finally understood what I was doing that day in May, and actually think it’s pretty cool!  2pts for the Super-Geek!
