The trip to Chicago was so much fun! For most of the time spent traveling to Chicago, it was raining. We had a layover in Memphis and then flew around a big thunderstorm to get to Chicago. Luckily, the rain tapered off when we got to the hotel.
We immediately went to the Sears Tower. While the sight distance was only 3 miles, we still saw much of the city. (On a clear day, the sight distance is 40-50 miles, and you can see 4 states!) With 108 floors, the elevator to the top took a full minute!
Here's a cool diorama of the Sears Tower. Finished in 1973, it took 3 years to build and cost approx. $150 million.
