Mandy on her way to Australia

We had a family friend come in to town on Tuesday only for a few hours. Mandy lives in Florida with her family and was on her way to travel around Australia and had a lay over in California. My dad picked her up to come hang out with the family for about 6 hours. It was so wonderful to see her and she is just a delight of a person. Her father, Mark, and my parents have kept in touch very well for the past 20 years (which is when they actually moved away and haven't been back since). My family hasn't seen Mandy in 20 years (she was 2 when they left). I saw her about 8 years ago when I went to Florida to visit Jenny at college. I stayed with them for a couple of nights while I was out there. Her dad comes in to town once a year or so, so we have seen him several times in the last 20 years. Her family is wonderful and it was so good to see her again.
I thought I'd post this picture for anyone that remembers her family so that they can see what she looks like 20 years later. She is identical to her mom!
