Actual famous person?!?

I need to preface this post by saying that although I live in the best place to spot famous people, I never do. Until today...

I was walking home from the park with the kids when a car stops from pulling into a parking lot to let me cross. He smiles and waves me forward. He looks kind of familiar...I look closer and realize that it is Harrison Ford driving a Toyota Prius!!!
I try to stay calm, but I look over at the parking attendant and mouth, "Is that Harrison Ford?!?! He smiles at me and nods. I walk over nonchalantly to talk to the attendant and then watch Harrison Ford get out of his car, look over at us and smile, and then walk into a store. I talked to the attendant and apparently Harrison Ford is there all the time. What the?!? I live across the street! He also said Reese Witherspoon and Tina Fey were there yesterday.

So a few minutes later when I was over my "high" of seeing one of my favorite actors of all time, I thought about why it is such a big deal. He just looked like a normal guy going into a store. Being famous is truly a weird concept...

Cool! I like him! Just curious, what store was it? and I'm jealous you get to be out and about at the park, etc. we're still winter white here!

Haha!! That's funny! I do the same thing. I like seeing them in real life to see how truly normal they are! What park was it?

Oh my, that is pretty dang awesome! Wish I could have been there with you. I'm glad you kept your cool, I don't know how I would react. I'd probably just stare:)
