When I first heard about Take Your Parents To Work Day (TYPTWD), I had just started at Google and thought it was probably an open house of some kind. It didn't seem like something I would ask my parents to take a trip out from Colorado to attend.
Two years later, in my new job on the production team (that was running the presentation events for TYPTWD), I discovered that TYPTWD was a day when parents come to Google from all over the world to see what their kids are doing; and, Google takes that opportunity to honor the parents of Googlers. It's a full day of events, classes, food, demos, presentations -- and, is a fun time to show off your parents and Google. Very cool!
So, this year (four years later), my parents came out from Colorado for TYPTWD. :)
