On Monday a group of us split off to take a longer walk to the Lincoln Memorial while the other little crew went Ice Skating & to The Museum of American History.
So use your imagination to "picture this":
Ellis, Laurel, Pallie, Kate, Nala, Janie & Dana are strolling along the streets on the way to The Mall when we see Janie and Dana break out into a full on sprint yelling "Anderson, Anderson, we LOVE you!" {yes, Anderson Cooper}...next thing we know, they have jumped some barricades and are in the "media only" area full of satellite trucks, live remote broadcasts, etc...
We young girls look at each other in confusion, hysterical laughter and disbelief and know nothing else to do but to FOLLOW our LAWBREAKING MOTHERS and jump the barriers too {please note, Dana is an Attorney!}. Anderson dodges a few group mobs but Dana and Janie are relentless.
They motion for us to hurry up since we had the camera. Running behind he and his assistant, Dana continues to yell, "Please Anderson, just one picture, we LOVE you!!".
Pallie & Nala continue to shake their heads in disbelief as Ellis, Kate & Laurel pick up the pace to join the two stalkers {Dana & Janie}. When we finally reach them his assistant says "quickly, one photo only, he has to get on the bus!".
We situate next to him for a photo and Ellis hears him say to the person he is talking to on the phone "sorry, I've got to go, I'm getting mobbed!" hahaha
SO -- we look around for someone to take the picture and his assistant does not offer so Janie turns on TOTAL MOM-MODE and grabs the camera to take a picture of all of us. We really regret that she didn't get in the picture but of course she claims she was just as happy to be behind the camera and a part of it.
Kate, Dana, Anderson, Ellis & Laurel
*Janie behind the camera*
But it doesn't end there...as we are leaving Dana looks at Anderson Cooper straight in the face and says, " Anderson, You Are the BOMB!" We all nearly lost it. But he was very very gracious and kind and gave a "thank-you" kind of nod in response to being "the BOMB"!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In other CNN star noteworthy news...while we were at the Newseum {prior to the Anderson sighting} we stumbled upon the preparation for a live taping of John King AND his Magic Map! Dana, Janie, Ellis, Kelly, Whitney & Laurel settled themselves up close but just before the taping went live, were shooed away by security. But perhaps some of you saw this live taping yesterday?
he actually turned around to ask a gentleman to stop calling for him, he was "trying to get some work done"...
