Where's the snow?

Today was the first "official" Chicago day (and it was supposed to snow)! I started the day waking up incredibly early (much earlier than intended  7:00 am). I did some getting ready by showering and getting all dolled up and changing- the usual. Then we all just sat in our hotel room till what seemed like forever and finally left to go to Navy Pier at 11:50. Here are some pics from the awesome pier:







After the freezing cold pier, we headed to the Chicago Symphony center to see the world famous band perform. Let me just say it was one of the most boring things I have ever seen (I fell asleep for half of it), but the concert hall was simply beautiful. Here are a couple pictures from the very top floor of the concert hall where are tickets were:



After the symphony, we went back out into the freezing cold to travel to the skydeck at the sears/willis tower (103 stories and the tallest building in the U.S.). It was kind of scary at first, but I eventually got to the edges and I even walk out onto the glass overlook hanging off the building.





And, finally, at the end of the day, we made the one block walk to a Chicago restaurant for some classic deep dish Chicago pizza. (Sorry, I forgot to get a picture of the food!)


As much as I love Chicago, I can't wait to leave. (These band kids are driving me crazy!) By the way, there was no snow today, but apparently it IS supposed to snow tomorrow, so I hope mother nature keeps her word and lets it snow 'cause I've never seen snow before.

  1. Next winter in Germany you can be sure to see snow. We have right now 5 to 10 cm of snow here in Berlin and temperatures are around freezing during the day and down to –10 °C during the night.
    Everyone here is fed up with the winter.

    1. Well I'm from Arizona and I've never actually seen it snow before, so I was kind of disappointing when I didn't get to see it. But -10 degrees? wow, that's cold!
