Now that's a family restroom!!

We went to Cleveland for the holidays and what do you do in Cleveland? Why, go to the mall of course! Ok, not always. But we had to see Santa, and the mall is where he is known to hang out so there we were.  Anyhow, as it is traveling with a toddler in potty training mode, I have one eye open for suitable bathrooms at all times.  We cruised out of JCPenney (woot! party!) and spotted a sign for the family restroom. In pretty colors. Again, in a preventative measure, we took a side trip down this pretty colorful hallway to the most amazing family restroom I have ever seen. It actually had a SEATING area with games and TVs for the kids (or bored Daddies, imjustsayin...) and it had a large room with 3 baby-changing 'bays' (is that the appropriate word? I know they aren't cargo vehicles, but still...) with sinks and even a microwave. Then there were small curtained rooms with plush couches and a table. Must be for napping or nursing. I never wanted to leave. And I'm not even nursing anymore. Apparently I'm not the only one at this mall that knew of this hidden gem because the only actual toilet (that also had the cute toddler size toilet too!) was occupado. We waited. We waited. Then we heard the telltale flush, followed by the feared second flush! Out walked an older woman, sans child.  Can't say I blame her. That place was a palace.  Why can't more public establishments be like this?? When I was nursing maybe??
