The 4 day birthday extravaganza!

We are in the midst of the 4 day birthday extravaganza that began with a night out to the movies to see The Bourne Legacy on Friday evening, followed by a fun day sightseeing in Chicago on Saturday (Dusty's 40th Birthday), continued by german chocolate cake and pizza with friends today and ending with my 37th birthday tomorrow.  We've had a ton of fun!  We began our morning in Chicago at the Sears tower....excuse me...I mean Willis Tower.  (Still can't get used to it being called that)  We went up to the 103rd floor to the SkyDeck and stepped out on the Ledge.  Being 103 floors off of street level standing in a glass box jutting out from the side of the building is a weird feeling.

But a fun one!  And it makes for a killer photo op! :) 

Just hanging out in Chicago....literally hanging out!

Yes, we were at the top of this!

 It was a gorgeous day and the views were spectacular!

After that stop we hopped on the double decker bus for a little sightseeing

This was a lot of fun as well.  Got to go all over downtown and could just hop off at the stops and hop back on when we wanted to.  The guides were very entertaining....and we even learned a few things. :)

We hopped off at Millennium Park and followed the crowd to Cloud Gate....or better known as "The Bean"

Talk about a fun photo op!

We had a gentleman snap our photo and he had some ideas that he wanted to try so he posed us around to get our reflections.  He was fun, but I think his wife was tiring of his...as she put it..."artsy fartsy" shots! :)

Lots of wedding parties in the park shooting their photos including this couple who decided to splash around in the fountain

We spent the rest of the day riding around sightseeing at the parks, Navy Pier, and all around downtown.  Our bus hit several detours because streets had been blocked off for President Obama's arrival.  His helicopter flew right over us.

The sign that Dusty had to point out and laugh about.  Not sure what the german was saying.  Even though he turned 40, Dusty still has some 13 year old humor in him.  He pointed it out and chuckled....Bus Fart! :)

A wonderful day full of fun with my favorite guy! 

Happy Birthday Dusty!
