Tour of the Toilets

While we were in Denver we decided to play tourist and made a stop at the capital. The boys loved playing on the cannons and spent some time figuring out how they worked and if they could make them work again.
Then we took the usual picture on the 5280 step!
Then we headed over to the pavilions.

Logan spent the day sleeping in his car seat! But the real fun was the toilets!

This began when Austin informed us at the capital that he had to go to the bathroom. You know how this goes once one has to go they all feel the need! Of course there are no restrooms at the capital, it was Saturday, everything locked up tight. Brian and I ask if you really have to go because your bathroom options in downtown Denver are not great. Of course we have to go right now, no we could not have gone at the nice clean cupcake store. So we reluctantly head over to the nearest public restroom, Civic Center Station. You truly have to be desperate to use these restrooms, and Austin insisted that he was, until he walked into the bathrooms...no door on the stalls, freely used by homeless and the like, and there was a big stinky construction worker doing his business with no thought of modesty in sight. Austin promptly refused to use the bathroom, not even for number one which did not involve any actual physical contact with the lovely facilities, which were lovely!!!! Carter has less discerning taste and went number one. Everyone came running out, demanding hand sanitizer. Austin still had to use the bathroom so while we were at the Pavilions Brian decided to try the bathrooms there. Slightly cleaner, but the company was pretty shady. Once again no doors on the bathroom stalls and the boys were quickly joined by a man announcing how good it was to be home after a hard days work, where he then proceeded to take off his shirt and bath in the sink!! As we were walking back to the car I asked Carter if he had fun, to which he replied: "All we did was look at toilets!" Ohh what fond memories they will have of lovely D-town!
