Started off the morning with breakfast at Valois, then over to the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower to climb the tallest building in the western hemisphere (1,729 feet, 108 floors, with the observation deck on the 103rd). The views from up here were amazing, it was awesome to see the city and the lake, and views from the clear glass windows were perfect.
The best part about the Willis Tower was the Skydeck - a glass box extending out from the structure of the building. One look down and you can see straight to the bottom - a full 103 story drop. Even my mom conquered her fear of heights this weekend to step out into the box! (Insert "think outside the box" quote here.)
1,729 feet is a long way down....
