Here are some pictures that I took with Sophia Schoenbeck's Tootise. I am a flight attendant for Delta and took Tootsie with me on a Paris trip. It was really cold, but we got out for a walk to the Eiffel Tower. There are pictures of the model of the Statue of Liberty--the big one in NY was made from this smaller one. The Christmas tree is in the lobby of the hotel where we stay. Can you find Tootsie in that picture? He's there! Sophia, hope you and your class are doing well. I can't wait to hear where some of the other Travelmates went! Love, Mary

Tootsie thinks it's too cold in northern Kentucky, even with a fur coat. She's going to a warmer climate--back to California--lucky Tootsie!!



Dear Ms. Walsh, Attached are several photos of Tootsie the Cat! This is Sophia Schoenbeck's travelmate. These photos are of Sophia's grandma Natalie, Auntie Anne, and cousins Jeffrey and Julianne. We live in San Clemente, California, which is conveniently located along the Pacific Coast, right in between Disneyland and Legoland. Tootsie had quite an adventure while she was here and I think she is probably ready to come back home! She got to go mountain biking, hiking, swinging, and almost fell off our pier! Our yellow lab, Ellie, and our cat, Duffy, both wanted to play with Tootsie, but they were a little rough, so Tootsie had to sleep in a special tote bag each night! Enjoy the photos! If you or Sophia's classmates have any questions for us about life in San Clemente, please feel free to email us! Sincerely,The Leishman FamilyJay, Anne, Jeffrey, Julianne, Ellie the dog, & Duffy the catleishladay@cox.net(949) 361-1187
