Georgetown, Shops at Georgetown Park, 3rd floor

At 3:50 p.m. as we were leaving Georgetown for the day, I had to make one last stop before we hit the road. This is standard procedure for anyone with a small bladder. The thought of traveling more than 40 minutes without access to a bathroom is scary, especially if it's been more than an hour or two since your last pit stop.

I walked into the bathroom and surveyed the atmosphere. Two women at the mirror -- one was washing her hands and the other was right up on the mirror doing something with her nose. I don't know what, and I really don't want to. She kind of scared me.

Now I know it's not fair to judge a potty by its occupants, but so be it. I did. Plus the mirrors were sort of peeling off if that's possible. The walls were a little dingy -- mostly just old, not dirty, and the whole scene left a little to be desired. It was clean, there was toilet paper, and the toilet flushed -- all good signs. Plus there was nice foamy soap and plenty of paper towels.

I didn't take a picture, because, let's face it -- it's kind of creepy to take a picture in a public bathroom when you're not alone in there. So, take my word for it on the rating.

Overall, a perfectly fine option if you need to go, but don't go out of your way or anything. I'm sure the mall has better options. It's a big mall -- and very nice.

Rating: 3 toilets

As the "Dad" mentioned in this blog, I think this is a great idea. I'm sure most families in America have had many of the "bathroom" discussions, especially in the car. Also, many have probably thought that writing about it would be a great idea. This is especially dear to me now that I have approached "seniordom" and the urges are more frequent, even for Dad. Hey, maybe I can supply some hints for some good bathrooms to check out. I'm sure this will be a hit and the first I will have read it will be my grandson, the writers nephew, because he is a member of the "I have to check every potty club" Only a handful of people can say this on your blog but "I love you" Dad
