Odd places to nurse a toddler!

Hi all,
We just got back from a vacation in Florida, and I ended up nursing
Kivi (two years old in December) in two kind of unusual places.

1. The beach. I never thought I'd nurse on the beach - because I wear
one-piece swim suits that are just NOT accessible for nursing. But I
forgot my swimsuit, and bought a cheap tankini, and I just pulled it
up on one side, and let my t-shirt drape around my daughter, allowing
enough discretion for my comfort.

2. The Salvadore Dali Museum. Kivi was really tired of being cooped
up and asked to nurse. So I found an empty corner (kind of difficult
considering there weren't many corners that were far away from any
paintings), and she nursed happily. I got a few glances, and a few
smiles. No biggie.

So what are the wierdest places you've nursed your toddler (or
infant)?

i would have to say the oddest place i ever nursed cayden was in the
pool...we were over at my sisters mothers in laws house when cayden was
about 3 months old...i took him in the pool, not sure if he would like
it or not and he loved it but he decided that he wanted to nurse...my
side of the family is very supportive of breastfeeding and they are so
used to it that i just pulled one side of my suit down and let him nurse
while i stayed in the water..cayden loved it now about once a week we go
into the tub together and he nurses in there...relaxes us both

Hmmm..airplane, walking around a museum, walking around the supermarket
(when he was small, both using the sling). I know there are more...on
the commuter train...but none are coming to mind. Oh well. :-)

Hm. Neither the beach nor a museum strike me as particularly weird places to
nurse. :-)

I did nurse DS once while sitting on the edge of a spa/jacuzzi (with my feet in
the water). He might have been a toddler at the time; I can't recall for sure
because we were at an annual event and I don't remember which year that was.

I've nursed on the beach tons but that's not remarkable considering
where I've lived while having nurslings (6 of the last 11 years within
1-3 miles of the Atlantic Ocean) I actually really like nursing on the
beach especially when it isn't hot and we're just strolling and the
beach is empty and quiet. It's a really lovely peaceful thing.

I'd have to say the strangest place I ever nursed was the pre-op room
at MMH when my mom was having her mastectomy. Emma was a couple days
shy of 3 months old. It was quite the dichotomy, about a dozen
people, some extremely upset (including my mother) and their equally
tense families-and then this sweet peacefully nursing baby. My poor
Emma was drug all over the place that spring-my mother and husband
both had surgery, meetings with mom's oncologist etc.....

In the office of the Customer Service Manager at the Greyhound bus terminal
in Washington, DC. I'd bought a discounted ticket at a ticket kiosk, and
somehow got the origin and destination mixed up, and at first they wouldn't
change the ticket without charging me full price. I was really infuriated
with them, because the driver could have accepted the original ticket in the
first place (according to another driver)...I dropped all my luggage on the
floor in this woman's office, and took Sprogly, who'd been fussing, out of
his sling...I plunked myself down on a chair and started nursing him (as I
was on the verge of tears, saying, oh, great, I'm going to be *stuck* here
now! [My blood sugar was low]). For some reason, the manager changed her
mind and decided to reissue a ticket without charging me more.
