The road trip to Montana part :one

Stef's: POV
It was the morning of the big trip to Montana. We were all up bright and early
It was still pretty dark outside but I decided we should get on the road before the sun comes up, we're looking at eleven hours to get to our destination. My girls are cranky when they're woken up and my other daughter Francesca woke up before me
I know she was super excited, Lena packed plenty of sandwiches drinks and snacks last night. We all went to sleep quite so we could get up on time, I went a few days ago and rented an RV the guy gave me a sweet deal, l had to say that I was impressed
Once I saw the inside. It had everything from a flat screen TV, bunk beds for the kids and two master bedrooms but our room had a stand up shower and let's not get started on the interior. I think this year for our anniversary is to have our bathroom remodeled, I already hired a contractor to do the job one of my employees is married to the man who's going to do the job. He showed me pictures of the work he did for his clients and I had to say l don't think l've seen people take a house tear it up and make it brand new again. He flips houses for a living, Jake takes abandoned houses and fixes them up
Then sells them, and moves on to the next one and so on. Lena's parents stayed in the guest house last night, it was easy for Margaret and Stewart instead of going all the way home and come back in the morning, Lena had the bags underneath the RV. The girls just got done eating breakfast, Lena washed up all the dishes
We couldn't leave without the dogs. They were coming along as well, everyone got on the RV while I locked up the house and turned on the cameras. The alarm has a timer on it, Lena had hope and grace buckled up in their booster seats. Is everyone ready to get this show on the road
Stef as she jumped on to the expressway
Yes mama we're are the girls say at the same time. The clouds opened up and the sun came on through Grace and Hope begin singing ole Mick Donald had a farm
I see Francesca has gone back to sleep with her ear buds in, as for my in laws Stewart was reading a book and Margaret was doing a word search. Lena just had went to the bathroom, it's already seven thirty
I'm glad we all before leaving the house
In a few hours l'm going to need to stop to fuel up and grab a hot cup of coffee. I should have brought some along with me
But I was the one who suggested that we leave early, where only gonna be in Montana for a whole week l got our trip planned out. We have plenty of food to last us for a while, the cottage we're staying at has six bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a furnished basement that the owner turned into a game room slash den.
