Near the beginning of the our trip Julia was excited telling us that we had many homes, listing all the hotels we had been in. By the end the excitement had worn off and she just kept asking if we could go home.
Julia had to improvise with toys since she had been without. She missed her dress up clothes, but found a piece of corrugated card board to use as a tail. She would tuck it in her shorts and wore it everywhere she went for days.
