{Day 2 we did ALOT -- so I'm breaking this up into two posts}
We woke early, to rain, to start our second day in Chicago.
We dined again at the hotel for (free) breakfast, and then took our
time to walk the city to our first reservation – The Sky Deck @ the Willis Tower.
And then the rain cleared for a bit -- yay!
So, the Willis Tower is North America’s tallest building; its interior office spaces are home to popular companies, and it’s an iconic landmark in Chicago.
The experience from
the Sky Ledge is both terrifying & exhilarating to say the least...
The Sky Deck is at the 103rd floor & offers views for miles on a clear day. Within the Sky Deck sits a few Sky Ledges – which are solid glass boxes which protrude out from the building about 4 feet & individuals are able to literally walk on what seems like air – crazy!!
About 2 weeks prior to our trip we pre-purchased the Fast Track pass – we learned from our experience in NYC & the Empire State Building that is it SO WORTH the extra money not to have to wait in any lines... (when you only have a couple days in a city, it’s painful to have to wait in a 2-3 hour line).
More to come, stay tuned!
