American Idol

I have always wanted to try out for American Idol and this time they were not coming to LA so I bit the bullet and decided to go up to San Fran. It was a crazy time and TONS of waiting in line and they told me that they really liked my voice and that I was a good singer but not the right style for the show. WHATEVER! hahaha, its fine truthfully I am ok. When it first happened I was a little bummed ( I am SUPER competitive) but I know that I can sing and I love it and it would have been even crazier if I did make it to Hollywood week.

Waiting in Giants stadium to sing. This day we waited for 8 hours.
A bus tour of San Fran
La Boulange thanks Sarah for all the recommendations. It was so fun to see you and Patrick! I am sad we didn't get a picture with you!
Bret was most excited about seeing the stadium
We drove the scenic route home down Highway 1. It was unbelievably beautiful! Bret had never been there and we drove 17 mile drive and Bret was in golf heaven.

A little foggy but sooooo gorgeous. It took us 12 hours with all the stops but the girls were so good considering. I only lost my cool once. :) I am so so so happy we did this fun trip. It was great.

Like I already told you, I think you have some major guts trying out. What an awesome experience. And in SF to boot! Jared is from the Bay Area, so we LOVE visiting there. Glad you had such a fun trip!

Are you kidding me Brooke, I had no idea you did this! How fun. Did I tell you that Ryan tried out when we lived in Utah. It was a long day but still so much fun. I mean who doesn't want to see all those crazies in real life, it's even better than tv. You have such a gorgeous voice.
