Such a neat experience to see the city from the sky! It was hazy the afternoon we went so our visibility was a bit limited, but it was still great! The hot chocolate with rum in the "weather room" was yum!

Once I got there the views were amazing and it was such a clear day which I admit I wasn't really expecting. Would have perhaps needed a bit of snow on the rooftops to get perhaps more impressive photos. I am going to try and get at least one of the photos framed or made into canvas pictures.
