Antonio Monty
Previously at Antonio Monty's: Antonio and the twins moved in with his aging mother Isabella to accompany her during her final days. He married Samantha Ottomas at once so that Isabella could witness the family event, which did crowd the Monty Ranch for some time. Once Mercutio Monty returned from college to settle back at the ranch, Antonio, Samantha and the kids moved out...
... to a nice villa at the Italian side of Veronaville. Combining the net worths both households had before the marriage made them enough to afford the place.
To compensate for the days played at Monty Ranch this season already...
... we'll be sending off Antonio and Samantha to go on a late honeymoon!
Before the lovebirds could depart, Benedick noticed Katherine walking by - and he has a want to make best friends with her!
Then the shuttle arrived and Samantha and Antonio are off to a happy holiday to...

The fresh mountain airs of Three Lakes!
Over §900 per night for the luxury suite!
...
Let's do that some other time. That's not quite within the family budget.
Maybe camping out will be more enjoyable for the time being?
The rent-a-tent is free, after all! Which...
... leaves Samantha and Antonio more money for tours!
Oh my, something is happening!
... annnd the skill points are gone. Pleh.
I am strongly assuming that Samantha is being sarcastic with that comment in the corner... Time to explore Three Lakes a bit.
Maybe the Lumber Mill might be worth a visit?
While Samantha gives the log rolling a shot, we see one of the locals walking by, who may be a familiar face for those that have read another story I participated in...
Another face from said story watches as Samantha falls off the log, rolls her eyes as she turns her back and calls Mrs Monty an amateur under her breath.
After walking around a bit more, one of the locals pounds his chest and roars at Samantha, leaving her a bit confuzzled.
From the corner of her eye she sees Antonio participating in a local dance ritual, but as she approaches to join the dance ends...
... leaving the newlyweds to just go for some flapjacks at the local stand.
After their local meal, Antonio and Samantha head back to the campgrounds for a nap to catch up on energy. Must be the jetlag.
After resting up a bit...
... Samantha and Antonio head to the local community spa!
After a dip in the local sauna...
A local tries to have some talk with Antonio, although they struggle a bit with cultural differences.
Antonio and Samantha then take a dip in the local hot spring, meeting two Sims who may look familiar to the console players out there.
After soaking for a while, the lovebirds are off...
... to officially call it a night.
The next morning the newlyweds start off busy.
Followed by Antonio taking a fun picture of Samantha.
"Did you take a good one?"
.
"Yeah, this one works well."
Both had the want to go on a date next, and thus...
... the wants from the date brought them back into their tent once more! That poor local doesn't know how to look away anymore...
Having plenty of time for the date to last, Antonio and Samantha decide to go to a community lot.
Perhaps they can find a few nice souvenirs at the local market?
Samantha finds herself a nice axe statuette.
While Antonio goes for a pretty gem.
Samantha also finds a jewelry rack, and indulges badly.
After spending a bit of quality time together again...
... another slap dance group forms, and this time Samantha manages to join in!
Right in front of her two tourist kids perform a more violent slap dance...
Reason for Samantha to drag Antonio to a local restaurant, with hopes of seeing fewer aggressive kids.
After ending the date...
Both lovebirds go on another tour. Maybe birdwatching will not backfire on them...
I hope?...
And it actually doesn't! We evened out!
After the tour, it's time for dinner together.
A nice glass of water plus a local pie is a good way to officially end the day out with.
Soon enough most of the folks leave the restaurant, signalling Antonio and Samantha to go back to the campsite as well...
... and have a good rest in the tent.
... Sadly, that night had a rough card in play for our newlyweds - both of them were struck by a cold!
Being woken up by their own coughs early, they decide to up their hygiene in the bathrooms, after which Samantha gives the axethrower a shot.
Realising that camping does come with a risk in the colder climate, Samantha decides to check out of the campgrounds.
Antonio decides to try one more throw with the axe - and promptly hits the bullseye!
Before leaving for another place to sleep, the two decide to go for another tour - the nature trail wasn't tried yet.
And oh my, a bigfoot?!
... welp, that went awry. At least Samantha and Antonio aren't sick anymore. Luckily, as I don't want to spread a disease through Veronaville, as interesting as that scenario would be.
After the tour, it's time to go with the shuttle...
... and go back to the expensive hotel we started out at for one final night!
After Samantha books the room...
... it's time to give the logging tour another shot.
Last time offering those little beavers food didn't work out well, so let's see what the other option brings?
Nope. That didn't work out well...
Time to give those two some much-needed TLC!
And I happen to know...
That there's a food stand at the spa! Putting some more food in them should give them a bit more energy.
... Not THAT kind of energy.. I guess I should stay clear of the hot springs for now. Poor Tatus...
While another person gets hit by lightning, Antonio hangs around a few locals, hoping for some of them to greet him Three Lakes-style. They seem to be more focused on Samantha however...
Buuut.. if Samantha by know knows how the greeting goes, SHE can go and teach it to Antonio!
While Samantha makes a picture of another group of slapdancers...
- "Hey, aren't you supposed to be facing OUR direction??" -
...Antonio is getting a massage. Not sure how serene his massage will be though with a fight breaking out right outside.
... It's also MY holiday
Antonio didn't just get a massage, he also got a few pointers on how to perform this massage himself!
A bit later we find our lovebirds at their hotel, soaking in some indoor springs just in case the lightning comes across this area.
Afterwards Samantha orders some delicious roomservice...
... and it gets served as one dish, even with both tenants sitting ready to be served. Pleh.
After indulging in the food, the lovebirds go to bed in their honeymoon suite.
The next day is started with adorable bed cuddles.
Soon enough though it's time to check out of the hotel and prepare for one final day of mountain hijinks before the trip is over...
And what better spot to start out at than the lumber mill?
It's about time for Samantha and Antonio to officially duke it out on who is the best log roller among them?
Our first round ends with a victorious Samantha!
But the second round sees Antonio keeping his balance. I guess we'll have to call it a tie then ^w^
To celebrate their victories, they carve 'AM+SM' in the big log and observe it a bit together.
Time to go on a final tour together! Last time the birdwatching went okay.. let's see if we can keep up that luck?
Last time we followed the colour...
... but this time---
--- NOT so much...
To destress from all the stings we visit the spa one more time...
The storm has officially passed by which means we can safely use the hot springs once more.
After enjoying the Three Lakes cuisine one more time...
Antonio joins along with a slapdance group while Samantha learns how to do a deep tissue massage.
And then the honeymoon bliss has officially come to an end, as the shuttle picks Antonio and Samantha up to bring them to the airport.
And then we find them back at their new villa, back with their (step)children.
Because the holiday was such a success, both Samantha...
... and Antonio get to choose 3 vacation benefits each.
Back home Samantha's extra want told her to cook some toaster pastries, and with several family members being hungry I made her pursue this little passion.
The meal was appreciated by the others.
Tommy wanted to talk to Minola - so he invites her over.
Just after Minola accepted the invitation, Antonio (who went to work after returning home) got a chance card...
... which backfired badly.. Which means the household has lost all their money, and Antonio loses two valuable skill points...
Luckily Antonio and Samantha squandered quite a bit on their honeymoon, meaning not much was lost. Tommy met up with Minola who was brought by her father.
By the time Antonio got back from work and and Oscar felt like bonding a bit with the family dog, Maxx.
Soon enough, boy and dog were friends.
A bit later we got the usual birthday notifications - and among them this time is Tommy's! After her afternoon jetlag nap Samantha has enough energy to throw a birthday party!
Tommy blows out the candles...
And one jump later he grew up into his teenage years.
I used my Aspiration Calculator once again to learn Tommy's destiny is to pursue Knowledge - following in the footsteps of his stepfather Antonio.
Speaking of Knowledge, after Tommy finished his cake Oberon Summerdream turned into his Werewolf form once more.
Speaking of Summerdreams, Bianca still seems to have not forgiven Titania for what she saw at a community lot earlier this round.
Speaking of community lots, someone is going to the Stratford Strip.
It's Tommy, who has bought his first cellphone!
Time to go back home and look at the new family picture. Four of the six kids are in their teens already.. they're growing up so fast, aren't they?
Back home I roll Tommy's gender preferences annnd.. straight as an arrow.
Our young teenager also decides he wants to go by a more mature name: he wants to be called Thomas from now on - which does have a nice rhyme with his last name - before going to bed.
With the rest of the household about to go sleep as well, the party ends and the guests had a good time.
Except for Titania Summerdream, that is.
She's lucky that Bianca doesn't have any body skill.
Samantha wants to have one more bit of fun before sleep...
... and then we skip to a new day - a new season - a new sign that we have to move to another family for the next post.
Which I believe will be Regan Capp's household!
To be continued
