July 18, 2008 | BlogHer, D.C. Metro Moms Blog

In case you haven’t been reading my road trip blog or if you are new here I arrived in San Francisco yesterday for the annual BlogHer conference.

I am having a wonderful time and all that but I really want to tell you a quick story.

One of the many blogs that I write for is DC Metro Moms Blog. Last night I went to a party for all of the SV Moms Group blogs.

As soon as I walked in I saw a woman that looked a lot like somebody I knew in college. I thought “Hey, that lady looks like Alexis”. Then somebody called her Alexis.

I went up and re-introduced myself. I hadn’t seen Alexis in 13 years. We were in a sorority together in college.

I am in San Francisco. I live outside of Washington DC. I went to college in Orlando. She lives in L.A. What are the odds that we would ever run across each other again?

It really is a small world.

* Yes, I know we are doing it backwards. It has been a long time since college and I am way to lazy to try to find a program that will reverse the picture.

So remember forever ago when I told you that I had something really exciting happening in July and I told you I would tell you what it was and then I never mentioned it again?

Well, I couldn’t tell you yet because we had to wait for all of the legal stuff to get taken care of. But I can tell you now.

I’m going on a road trip to BlogHer!

That’s right. You heard me. Me and three other suckers from the Silicon Valley Mom’s Blogs (DC Metro Moms Blog, Chicago Moms Blog and the soon to be launched Rocky Mountain Moms Blog) will be driving to San Francisco.

I know it sounds crazy. Yes, I know it is 2823 miles from Washington DC to San Francisco, but we are getting a Hybrid Chevy Tahoe to drive and I don’t have to pay for the gas.

I hope you will check out our website. Devra and I will be leaving here on Saturday. We drive to Chicago to pick up Meagan, then to Omaha, then we will pick up Aviva in Colorado. The next day we will stop in Salt Lake City, Utah and the day after that Reno, Nevada. On Thursday we will stop off in Silicon Valley to pick up Jill and then we will show up at the hotel for BlogHer.

We will be blogging and posting videos the whole time.

I realize that a road trip of four Moms going to a blogging convention may earn me a nomination into the nerd hall of fame, but I expect it to be a great time.

Did I mention you can follow us on Twitter?

I’m still recovering from my vacation, so go check out D.C. Metro Moms Blog.

The official launch is today, so come by and say hi.

I’ll try to get up some vacation pictures later today, but I’m not making any promises. It is that time of year again when we get ready for preschool. It will easily take me a week to get all of my paperwork together.
