We are so blessed for the opportunity that was given to us in participating at the Doodle4Google Awarding ceremony at their headquarters. Google was kind enough to accommodate all the four of us. They initially told us that only 2 will be able to participate to the activities that was lined up that day.
Imagine, how happy we were when we were told that all the four of us can attend the next day. We were like, YEAH, thanks Google!
I would have missed the beautiful headquarters if we did not get to go.
We certainly enjoyed every moment we have spent there. The employees were very friendly.
I hope that more and more families can enjoy what Google has to offer, lots of fun and education!
That's so awesome! Very nice that they let all four of you go. I bet that was an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteIt was. The kids had so much fun in doing different things.
Deleteawwww! i, too, would like to visit GOOGLE someday...
ReplyDeleteYes it was a really great experience for all of us.
DeleteI would LOVE to go to google headquarters one day! What an amazing experience. Thank you so much for sharing the insiders look and all the pictures make me jealous :-)
ReplyDeleteI will share some more when I find time. I took tons of pictures!
DeleteThis would really be a dream trip for me. I'd love to visit one day but not sure that will happen. Thanks for sharing your experience and the photos. Did you get to meet anyone exciting? Did you ask them WHY they won't do another page rank? Lol. That would have been my first question.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to ask about that when the Google representatives came here in our state for the awarding but I didn't lol.
DeleteHow nice that they were able to accommodate all four of you. I think it would be interesting to get an inside peek at the headquarter of the gods of the internet. Such a neat opportunity!
ReplyDeleteYes we were happy about it too. Hubby and daughter get to go for free (well it's a taxable freebie anyway) but we have to pay for me and my son, still worth it though.
DeleteWow, I would also love to have same experience. Google is a wonderful company and visiting its headquarters will be unforgettable. You're so lucky to have participated and attended! It's like a chance of a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteYes it was a chance of a lifetime! There were so many great things over there.
DeleteWhat a fun experience to get to go see the headquarters of google!! This would be an amazing trip and tour to get to do. Looks like you guys had a blast on your trip.
ReplyDeleteYes we did and to be able to see the giant compound of an interned authority was a huge deal for me especially lol.
DeleteOh wow this must have been a great opportunity. What did you do while you were there? I am glad Google was able to let four of you go instead of two. You took some amazing photos during your visit as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria. My daughter was the West Virginia winner for the Doodle4Google in 2014 and she competed against other finalist from 49 states. It was an amazing journey for us. As a winner, she was able to claim a paid for two travel perk to Google including the accommodation and all. For the additional two, we paid for it but it's worth it,
DeleteGoogle sounds like such a fun place to work at and visit – it's really cool that they allowed all 4 of you to participate. I absolutely love Google Doodles. They are so creative and entertaining. I bet it feels amazing to have a Google Doodle selected. I had no idea that they did competitions for it.
ReplyDeleteI know right? They initially told us that only two will be able to participate for the fun activities that they have set up for the participants but when we were there, they surprised us that all four of us can actually go during the scheduled activities.
DeleteWhat an amazing day! I actually grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and have a number of friends who work for google. I've still never visited the headquarters....I really want to go!
ReplyDeleteOh you're so close, I would go if I were you, lol.
DeleteI had a friends that moved from Cali and the husband worked at Google, seems like a cool place to work at. Makes me think about that movie where they became interns for Google, lol. I didn't know you can actually do tours, that's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThat's what made us all excited too coz we were able to see the place where the movie was filmed. We went there not as tourist but attending an event, the Doodle4Google contest where my daughter represented our State of West Virginia.
DeleteHow fun! I'm sure it you all had a blast! What did you do inside? Thanks for the wonderful pictures, and I'm so glad all four of you were able to go!
