Las Vegas, Schuler Reunion

This past weekend, Jon and I went to Las Vegas for his moms family reunion. I got to meet several of his other Aunts, Uncles and Cousins that I have never met before (finally after 6.5 years, lol) . Most of them live in Michigan and one is from Alaska. It was fun having us all come together but unfortunately I didn't get much time with his aunts and uncles, but the cousins spent the majority of our time there together.
My favorite thing during the day when we were hanging with Jon's Bro Jason, Jon's cousin Amanda and her boyfriend Alex in the spa. Its was just so relaxing..
I think i have more fun in the evening when there is lots of food and booze and its more of a party. It was so much fun being able to be around people my age again and shoot the shit and just chill.
I have realized that Vegas, even though I had fun with his family, isn't really the place for me. For starters, I don't gamble. I have absolutely no desire to put my money in a machine knowing the likely hood of me hitting it big and actually getting money back is super slim. I'd rather spend my money on something I can enjoy like clothes or something else. Second of all, the smoke from the casinos KILL my eyes. I wear contacts and they dry up pretty quickly, and I LOVE breathing that crap in. Thirdly, the streets are overcrowded and nasty! The trash (actual trash, and hoochies) everywhere is sad.. oh, and I LOVE those people slapping the Porn Pamphets in your face as you walk by. I swear.. I was so ready to punch one of them. Its so disgusting what they're doing.

Unfortunately, Jon was totally sick while we were there and it only got worse for him on the plane ride home, but while we were there he was a trooper and for the state he was in, had a good time too.
