Sky High

So a few weeks ago, Kevin and I decided we needed to go to the top of the Sears Tower (OK, it is the Willis Tower, but most of you wouldn't know what I was talking about if I said it).  Since we have lived in Chicago for 2 years and haven't done it, we decided it was time. 
The Sears Tower held the title of world's tallest building for over 20 years and it is still the tallest in America., so that was reason enough for Kevin to fork over the cash for some amazing views.  The observation deck is on the 103rd floor and they have these nifty retractable glass rooms that stretch out over the Chicago river and give you a great look at what is below.  On a clear day, which it was, you can see Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan.  We got up there in the late afternoon, and got to watch the sunset and Chicago light up in at night.  
We're going to miss this city.

Wow! Great pictures! I don't know that I'd be brave enough to stand on the glass floor though.
