John Hancock Center

Since John and Jane were here for Thanksgiving, we decided to go into Chicago. The John Hancock Center has an awesome observatory at the top. Fun fact: the elevator that services the observatory travels up 93 floors in a mere 45 seconds. From the top you can see spectacular views spanning 80 miles, as well as 4 states. Can you name them?

WOW! It's a loooong way down.......

.....and didn't I tell you the view was SPECTACULAR?

My only complaint is that the windows were a little dirty. I sent Mom, Chatlie and Dad out there to clean them.

They couldn't handle it, so I sent out the reinforcements.

After all of that window cleaning, Halle decided to take a rest out over the plaza.

We had so much fun in the city! The adults went to see Wicked (a musical) and the kids went with Mr. Matt & Mel (a co-worker of Johnny's). He took them to Shedd's Aquarium. I'm not sure who had more fun! We finished the day with an over-priced meal at Rainforest Cafe, but the kids were happy, and that's what makes it worth it!
