Signs you are getting old on LBI

I have compiled a list of signs that you might be getting old on LBI

1.       You and your spouse feel croc footwear is comfortable, and stylish.

2.       For the gentlemen in the group. You need to apply sunscreen to your head.

3.       You no longer hang out at the Hudson House.

4.       An unwillingness to wait an additional 45 minutes to sit with the pig for breakfast at Uncle Will’s Pancake House.

5.       Thundering Surf is not on this summer’s agenda.

6.       Ditto Fantasy Island, regardless of Pay One Price Fridays.

7.       A beach umbrella is as important as a beach chair. Maybe even more so.

8.       You know what tomato aspic is, and order it at the Holiday Snack Bar.

9.       The only house you crash in at night is your own.

10.   You don’t consider temperatures northward of 95, and the winds blowing out of the west, a good beach day.

11.   Your days of walking barefoot over the rocks in front of your home are over. (See crocs in reason #1.)

12.   On Wednesday nights, you never go to the Chegg. In your estimation the discount does not offset the wait.

13.   You know which restaurants offer the 10% early bird discount, and you make sure to be there on time. (Additionally the owners know you by name.)

14.   All sunscreens have a SPF of 50 and above. (Or any SPF that matches your age.)

15.   When you come in at night, you meet your children on their way out.

16.   You use solo cups for soft drinks.

17.   Whenever Kuebel’s has “Golden Oldie” trivia, on Sunday nights, you rock.

18.   Your medicine cabinet contains Tums, Maalox, Pepcid, and Benefiber.

19.   As a woman, you would never walk to the beach in just your bathing suit.  A cover-up is a required item of beach apparel.

20.   And the number ONE sign you are getting old……the Nardi Party Bus is dropping off your kids at night.
