When I was growing up, most of my family lived in Dallas, except my immediate family. We lived all over but mostly in Colorado. This meant when I would come see my grandparents, I would fly. Since I wasn’t in Dallas that often, when I was here we would go sight seeing. This caused me to see reunion tower for the first time. At this point, I had no idea what it was, but I thought it was really cool.

A few years pass, and I kinda forget about it, because its kind of just there, but I see it again. We are driving back from visiting my grandma in Waco, TX. This time it is at night and it lights up. While that it cool already, the lights can change. This is a completely new aspect of a building to me.

For my best friends 18th birthday, a group of us went there. This was a really cool and different experience. I had been in similar places in other cities like the Willis Tower in Chicago and on the Empire state building in NYC,  but never in Dallas. Since I now lived in Dallas, this didn’t occur to me as something I could do. When we went up there, it was an experience I couldn’t even imagine.
