Downtown with the Family

And my family came into town to see us! They also had stuff to bring me (Like we need more stuff…oh well!!) We spent time with extended family and then we also went downtown to the Sears (now Willis, but honestly, who’s going to call it that??) Tower. It was so high up and REALLY cool!! The elevator to the 103rd floor was so fast, you could feel the change in pressure quite well in your ears. On one side there are these glass boxes built right out into the air!!! So you stand in one and it’s a pretty crazy experience to see so far down below you.

I think Mom was a little nervous…100_1436 100_1437 100_1438 100_1439 100_1440

Pretty crazy, huh? We also walked around and saw my school (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then headed back on the train. Lots of fun!

I'm glad that your family got to visit. It look like you guys had fun together. You would NEVER get me in that glass box. I would be sitting on the floor needing medical attention. LOL
