Yesterday Mark and I, along with Robin and Chris went to Great America. My parents took the kids for the day and it was so nice being away, it's not very often that we get an entire day for just the 2 of us. I did miss the kids like crazy though.
The day was pretty nice for the most part, it did rain a few times but it never really poured and each time it rained we just happened to be under a roof waiting in line for a ride. We didn't get to do a whole lot, we rode only 7 coasters because the park was so busy and there was also a time when all coasters stopped running for an hour. We have no idea what the reason for that was, but it stunk because we could have at least gotten one more ride in if it weren't for that happening.
I do have a picture of Mark and I that is on Robin's camera. I will post it later when she gets home from work.

How fun!! I know that was one of your goals with your weight loss for going to GA! I am so glad you reached it! And I am glad you had fun!
Super fun!! I wish Tommy liked going to amusement parks; he's never liked going, really, b/c he gets sick easily. I think in all our years we've been to Six Flags together 1 time!! Sorry about the rain and big crowds; that couldn't have helped your enjoyment level at all, lol.
I have been to Great America before, though it was when I was about 3 years old. I lived up in Illinois (I think that's where we went?!?!) and I have pictures of me in a stroller with Bugs Bunny ears on my head. :)
The Gurnee IL one is where we went! I wasn't there for the first time until I was 12 though. My mom can't stand roller coasters or any other rides for that matter, she gets very sick too.
