Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa.

0:31.2

Hi, Mandy. How are you? I am doing well. I'm cold. Everyone's cold. You're cold.

0:40.8

The pets are cold. The kids are cold. We're all cold.

0:49.0

Yeah. Florida's still under snow. Yes. Parts of it. My mom keeps sending me pictures of like the daily.

0:53.7

I actually went to go visit her. Mandy knows this, but I went to visit my parents with my kids.

0:57.8

When we learned that there was going to be a Florida to snow, I didn't go until the morning of.

1:03.5

I wrote Mandy and was like, hey, I'm thinking of going up to visit my family. But at that time, they were predicting like eight to ten inches. So I was like, you can't be ten inches off, right? Like, there's going to be something. And I fully supported you going up there

1:12.0

and doing this. You absolutely did. Thank you. But I also, in the back of my mind, I was like,

1:15.7

she does realize that she's driving literally into a snowstorm to get there.

1:20.6

No. That was truly the best part because I text Mandy at one point when we stopped somewhere

1:26.7

and I was like, they're closing down the turn bike in a few hours. She's like, you're driving into a snowstorm. And so I did have to stay an extra day because we literally could not get out. That was a very weird feeling. Again, the weirdest thing ever, you text me that day and you're like, we're snowed in, so I can't make it back to Orlando area today. I'm like, what?

1:47.0

It was wild. It was, I think they ended up getting like four inches, but then parts of it froze and all kinds of stuff. But I was telling Mandy, too, it was the coolest thing ever because my dad's 70, my mom 65, sorry to shout out your ages on here. They won't listen.

2:03.5

But neither of them had ever seen snow in their entire life. I can't believe that.

2:09.8

My dad, I can definitely believe. My mom, he doesn't like to travel. My mom, not as much.

2:14.7

But yeah, they just, it was, it was like seeing kids see it. Like, really,

2:18.6

it was just, like, so magical to see adults, like, I don't know, opening in your mouth to have

2:23.7

snowflakes fall on it. And we went sledding because we had, like, the bottom of a, it was just all

2:30.8

homemade stuff that we were doing. But it was just, like, I it was just like, oh, my gosh, I'll have these members forever.

2:37.3

And my kids were there, of course.

2:38.5

So like them interacting.

2:40.2
