Chicago!

We spent a little time today getting to know our new hometown...

HELLO CHICAGO!


Of course, before the real journey began,

A little time in the hotel pool was a MUST.





Next stop, Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) skydeck.






Here is Celeste, just hanging (literally hanging) around,

waiting to ride the elevator up to the 130th floor, 1,353 feet up.


Steven and Logan waiting for the elevator.



The view from 1,353 feet above Chicago!

Amazing!




In this picture, you can see the planetarium and aquarium.


One of the newest features of the Willis Tower Skydeck,

The Ledge...


The Ledge, protrudes 4.5 feet outside the exterior of the building...

you step out of the building into a glass box.

it's like stepping off the edge...

crazy, awesome!

Celeste, Steven and I pose for a picture while

standing on a piece of glass 1,353 feet above the ground!






With the recent win of the Stanley Cup by the Chicago Blackhawks,

everyone, even the lions in front of the art museum got in the spirit of hockey!

As we finally made our way back to our car,

we couldn't resist playing in the fountain at Millenium Park!
