Sightseeing
Downtown Chicago
What can you say, it's beautiful.
Who are they trying to kid, it's the Sears tower. :) If you've never been or you haven't been in a while you should definitely check it out. The skydeck now has glass rooms that extend out of the building so you can look down on the city beneath you. Very cool.
