Chicago, Illinois

It is August 25, 2019 and we are in Chicago, Illinois. We came to town by Amtrak and across from the terminal was the tallest building in Chicago. The Willis Tower (formally known as the Sears Building), it has an observation deck on the 103rd floor. When we were on the observation deck we took pictures on "The Ledge" you can look straight down to the street. The views are amazing! Lanee enjoyed a world famous "Chicago Hot Dog". We went on an Architectural Tour by River Boat (90 minutes). We learned a lot about Chicago in a short period of time. The Navy Pier, Grant Park, and Millennial Park were all stops before we met cruise friends (Dave and Linda) for supper and enjoyed Chicago Deep Pan Pizza at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria.

One of the world's tallest buildings. Head up to the 103rd floor and be wowed by "The Ledge" at Skydeck, an enclosed glass box that extends roughly 4 feet from the building facade, 1,353 feet up. You're literally walking on air — with your heart pounding.
