Spring Break . . . Chicago Style! :)

For Roland's Spring Break this year we decided to go down to Chicago for a three day weekend! :) Roland picked me up from work this morning and we hit the road! After what seemed like a few minutes to me, because I was sleeping on the way down, we arrived in Chicago! After having lunch at Moondoggies and checking into the hotel, we were off to the Chicago Temple! I love going to the temple with my sweetheart! It was the PERFECT way to start out our weekend! :)

After a lovely afternoon in the temple, we headed down to the train stop where we could park the car. Then on to the train we went . . . to go to the Willis Tower (formally named the Sears Tower)! :) The trip on the train was a lot of fun and much more economically smart to use! Walking from the train stop to the tower: very cold! Going up and seeing the sights to see: unbelievably breath taking! We timed it so we would be up at the top of Chicago at sunset! It defiantly was one of the best sunsets that I have ever seen! :)

Roland took a video up at the top of the tower, showing some of the sights and the sunset and even takes us out onto the ledge! Check it out! It's kind of funny, but then hey, what do you expect it's coming from Roland! :) Oh, and yes, he has a funny looking beard! Roland and I are going to be in the Nauvoo Pageant this summer, he is just growing his bread out. He started early because he wanted to make sure he had enough length on it by July to look the historical part, after all he has never grown out his beard before! :)
