Six Flags/Chicago

This past weekend Jeff and I went to Chicago to visit our friends Phil and Tracy! They live in downtown Chicago and it is always fun to go visit them! We went to RPM Italian and to Six Flags Great America! It was a blast!

When we got to their apartment we had a little free time before dinner so the guys shot some pool while Tracy and I chatted and drank margaritas!

After hanging for a bit at the apartment we walked to RPM Italian. Tracy and I are both obsessed with Giuliana and Bill's television show so we decided we would love to check out their new restaurant!

We were glad to find out that the restaurant had great prices and great food! We were not able to get a reservation till 11:30pm but we didn't care it was a lot of fun!

I got the Strozzapretti, but I should of got Mama Depandi's Bucatini Pomodoro, Jeff got the Cheese Ravioli. They were both great! We also shared with Phil and Tracy meatballs(Amaze-balls is more like it!) asparagus, garlic bread, and potatoes. All of the food was AMAZING! It was not that expensive but the portion sizes are very small.

After RPM we were all pretty tired! When Tracy and I were getting ready for bed we found the guys like this...haha

The next morning we headed to Six Flags Great America! We had a great time there even though we didn't get to ride many rides because they kept having power outages :( Doesn't matter we always have a great time all together!

Great view to wake up to!

But I think we got wetter!

We always have a amazing time hanging out with Phil and Tracy and this was no exception! We can not wait to go back in July when we go see the Top 10 of American Idol! Thanks Phil and Tracy for being great hosts!
