The view from the top of the world

That's what they call it on the 99th floor of the Sears Tower. The elevator ride up was... really interesting. Ears popping, and the little numbers... the ones that show you what floor you're passing... the elevator was going so fast that it went up by 10's! 10th floor, 20th floor, 30th floor... The entire ride up took roughly 30 seconds. Mom and I went up alone, Steve and Mark had been up before. Of course they had a little gift shop at the top... I got a couple of Obama souvenirs there.
