Top of Chicago

 The Willis Tower (more commonly known as the Sears Tower
is 1,450 ft tall,
weighs 222,500 tons,
 cost more than $150 million to build,
has 25,000 miles of electrical cable, 
and 2,109 steps.
 
 On a clear day you can see four states from the top of it...
Illinois
Indiana
Wisconsin
Michigan.

 The ledge is designed to retract into the building for easy cleaning
(good thing huh?),
and was built to hold 10,000lbs.

 But seriously, I was so nervous to step out on that ledge.

I was nervous just looking at the picture with all your feet on the platform. Wow!
Looks like you all had a fabulous time.
