Columbia, Missouri... The Family Friendly City


So while I am visiting Angel here in Kirksville, Missouri, we decided to take a trip to the closest "city". That being said it was a hour and a half drive in to Columbia which seamed to me to be about the size of Logan. Anyways, It was really pretty and great to just talk to my sister. The boys all fell asleep on the way there so we could just chat in peace. ( This very seldom happens with three boys under the age of 3). Well, we went to the Columbia Mall and be lined it straight for the Restrooms.... Ang is pregnant you know and Scott is only 3. So anyways, I was very pleasantly surprised by how family friendly the bathrooms were... check out the collage and you will see... a nursing room, a diaper changing station with running hot water and hand soap, a family restroom with a large and small toilet and a fold-down chair on the wall to lock in roaming toddlers. All in all I think the management at South Towne could learn a thing or two from the good old Midwest. Oh, and the icing on the cake? They have parking stalls right next to the handicap ones that are just for families with strollers and toddlers. Genius!!!!

GET OUT! Parking stalls for families!?!? I am dying over here. I think next to the handicapped stalls there should always be one for expectant mothers, then after that, families with strollers! I love it! It sounds like you are having a blast out there!
