Best trip ever!!!!!
We just back from this morning’s taping of Live! with Regis and Kelly. It was SO COOL to be part of the audience! I was giddy with excitement and totally star-struck!
Before heading to the show, our group met for an early breakfast at one of the hotel’s restaurants.
Check out the wallpaper! Hello! 
We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast buffet.
I was psyched to see a big platter of fresh fruit.
I haven’t eaten much fruit lately, so I loaded up.
I also had some Greek yogurt and granola with breakfast.
And some much-needed water and coffee. (I’m feeling a bit hungover this morning. Meh. 
)
Then it was time to head to ABC for Live! with Regis and Kelly!
It was really neat to see the studio and set in person, but both were much smaller than I expected.
The stars of the show!!!!!
Regis and Kelly chatted with the audience members during the commercial breaks. They were both really friendly and outgoing.
Chocolate expert and chef Jacques Torres showed Kelly a number of his chocolate recipes, so she demonstrated a few on the show.
They looked delicious, especially the chocolate-covered strawberries, which she shared with a few audience members after the show.
Kelly also shared a bunch of Hershey’s Kisses with the audience by tossing them into the crowd.
While blogging this post, I snacked on a couple of whole wheat pretzels to help settle my stomach. Ugh.
The cake decorating competition is up next!!!
