Decent Essays

After dating for two years, my boyfriend Steven and I finally got to go on our first vacation together. The two people that made it all possible are Steven’s Aunt and Uncle, Erin and Bobby. They were generous enough to finance our trip to Las Vegas, although they didn’t know me beforehand. They took us to many adventures and were very accepting of me. Erin and Bobby made an incredible impact on me with their loving spirit and generosity. When I first met Bobby, he seemed like a very tough guy and doesn’t deal with any non-sense. But deep down inside, he’s actually really funny and a true gentleman. His wife Erin was very easy going and funny, a great person to be around.

Erin, her friend Julie, and I went to the spa together. The first thing that we did was check in. Once we got called in, all three of us went to separate room for our massages. Afterward, we went out to the pool. As soon as we got out, the sun was beating on me and I felt extremely relaxed. I then realized that I wanted to sun bathe.

I heard my boyfriend’s uncle snicker to my side and say, “They shouldn’t have brought him here if he’s going to cry like that”. I fought the urge to give him a dirty look. He had a point of not bringing kids to a place if they’re not going to behave, but the tone of voice he used was really cruel.
