We went to see the Sears Tower Skydeck Ledge (now renamed Willis Tower, even though everyone will continue to call it Sears Tower). Anyway, we've been up to look around several times, however, neither Scott nor I had been on "The Ledge". For those who have never been, the Skydeck is on the 103rd story of the Sears Tower. It's all enclosed with windows on all sides so that you can see the city. On a clear day you are supposed to be able to see Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. The Ledge is a new feature that they've added; there are 3 enclosed glass boxes that extend 4 feet from the building so that you can see everything below you.
Here's a picture of our building from the top. Our building is the 2nd of the two white buildings that look identical. 
Here I am on the Ledge! I have to admit at first I was nervous to step out on to it. I know that you couldn't fall, but there's something about it that makes your heart race. I was able to step out there only after I touched the sides to make sure that I was for sure enclosed.
Scott had no problem stepping out on the Ledge. He just bounced right out there like it wasn't any big deal.
Such a fun memory for us of Chicago! Only 3 more days in the Windy City!
