Hello there! It’s me, Skydeck Chicago Ambassador Melisa, with my first giveaway! I have a pair of Skydeck Chicago Fast Passes (value=$35 each) up for grabs.

My Official Title Is Skydeck Chicago Ambassador, But You Can Call Me #MelisaSkydeck
Aaaaand we’re off! Today is the official beginning of the Skydeck Chicago Ambassador program. For the next two months, I will be serving, along with three other great ladies (Lisa, Christy, and Jen) as your source for information about all of the fun that can be had, 1353 feet high in the air above the great city of Chicago, at the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower).
