Oh my! 103 stories high!

The day after the Cubs game Tom, Charles, and myself headed back to the city to check out the Skydeck at the Willis tower (which was the Sears tower, and i still call it that). I was the # 2, 470,684 person to visit the skydeck! Crazy, huh? The photos are from all sides North, South, East, & West. The West side pictures are the ones that are from a 4 foot ledge made of all glass that are extend from the side of the building. It was just recently added maybe a year or two ago because my first time there in like 2005 the ledge wasn't there. I was very lucky to have been there on a clear day so I could see for many miles! On nice days you can see up to 50 miles & 4 states! They are Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, & the most obvious one...Illinois!

Mini Staycation Sunday

On Sunday my aunt and cousins decided to hit a breakfast cafe called Tiztal OMGosh they have the best food and oatmeal shakes!! mmm good...!! My cousin who now lives in Alabama is in town for the holiday weekend and he also has a few appointments with a Surgeon for his back/neck. So that is why my family decided to do a staycation for the day! It's so fun when you can be a tourist in your own city. You really do learn new things which is always a plus ( in my book anyways). After breakfast we went to Navy Pier and walked around and then we decieded to take an a boat tour on the Chicago river. It was def a great day to be out on the boat! Nice and sunny with a cool breeze! Just the way I like it.

 My yummy in my tummy breakfast of Chillaquilles (its a Mexican dish)

 I think this is the Tribune Tower

                                                        I think this is the Wrigley Building

                                                           Trump Internation Tower Chicago

                                                        Marina City aka The Corn Cobs..it's really a city inside with a Movie theater, Parking lot, grocery store, dry cleaners, and gym

 River City the same concept as Marina City further down the south river and was supposed to be shaped like a serpent, but financers didn't like the idea so it was never fully completed. But it's like a city within a city, except this one has a boat marina under it.
