In 2013, Dylan Drake, her husband Tomas Cortijo and their two children Eva, 4, and Constantino, 2, began a road trip from Buenos Aires, Ar- gentina to their home in Mis- soula, Mont. The family documented the journey on their blog, as they crossed multiple bor- ders in a small pickup truck. The family arrived in Mis- soula in July. Eager to keep traveling, Drake said they decided to attempt to break the world record and embarked on their journey this past Friday. The family will venture from Missoula, through Maine and end up in Flori- da, passing through 23 states and traveling over 6,000 miles. They hope to do this within six months.
