Let's Not Forget the Escalator

Today the Tinley family made an impromptu day trip to Evansville, Indiana, where mommy and daddy attended the University of Evansville (where mommy and daddy first met). We took a stroll around the alma mater and visited the famous West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. (We forgot the camera, so I don't have any pictures. Sorry.) Meyer was not at all impressed with mommy and daddy's old residences and haunts and was only mildly intrigued by the carousel and strange fried foods at the festival. He had forgotten much of the trip before he took the final bite of his deep-fried mint Oreo.

For the better part of the ride home, the focal point of our family conversation was the escalators in Macy's at the Eastland Mall and whether we preferred the escalators to the elevator. (We'd dropped by the mall for a while to escape the heat.)
