Good Morning America!

We thought it would be fun to be up a little extra early one morning to check out Good Morning America which tapes right in Times Square.  It was just about a block from where we were staying so it would work out well.  We were getting ready to head out one day when mom got all excited about a guest they were having later that week......Rachael Ray!!!!!!!!!!  She is a huge RR fan and we would have loved to attend her talk show but she hadnt been taping during any of our visits.  But we did go out and saw her studio and also visited "wax Rachael" at Madame Taussauds.  =)  I don't think she could hardly believe what she had just heard!  So at some point I checked info online to confirm and yes....it was true!!!!

We got up early that morning and made our way out to the studio.  There was already a small crowd gathering.  It was exciting hearing the crew talk about segments and watching them move around equipment and apply makeup to the people on the show.  The plan was for RR to do an interview segment and also a cooking segment outside right in front of us!  Wow!!!!!!  But, bad weather set in and it started to rain, and rain and rain and rain.  We had umbrellas and ponchos and still got wet.  Especially mom - she was completely soaked!  But some were not willing to wait it out to see Rachael. But we were!  We ended up in the front row and eventually the sun came out, it dried up (except for mom!) and the show continued.

Several segments were filmed outside which were neat to see but it finally came time for Rachael.  We could hardly believe she was right there in front of us!!!!  She did a great little piece but the bad weather was coming back in for a second round and they decided to move her cooking segment indoors.  Bummer!!!!!  Unfortunately we could not see that through the windows so we watched it on the tv screens they had outside for us.  After her segment we started walking away and I saw some people behind a barricade on the side of the studio.  So we made our way over there and acted like we belonged =) and sure enough that was the door Rachael exited out of!!!!!  She was off to another interview so there were no photos or autographs but we saw her one last time before hopping in the car waiting for her.  It was such a fun experience!!!!!

Maybe....just maybe.....we will be back sometime and can get tickets for her show!!!!

Completely soaked!!!! But look at that smile!
