Growing Up....

You know you're 31 and growing up at Dewey Beach when....

  • you'd rather sit on the couch, drink wine and chat with some older ladies than go grab a margarita at the bayside Mexican restaraunt.
  • you walk the 2.5 miles to Rehoboth Beach from Dewey to earn that beer at dinner.
  • you'd rather stay in and watch movies, grill out and chat than go surround yourself with douchebags and cougars at the Rusty Rudder.
  • you seriously contemplate getting the salad from Nick's instead of their cheesesteak.
  • you'd rather go outlet shopping when it starts raining rather than going drinking at the nearest bar.
  • you leave the beach to go lay out on the rooftop deck so you can nap but not get sandy.
  • you wear SPF 30+ instead of your usual SPF 4 tanning oil because you've started caring about wrinkles and harmful rays.
  • you wake up early to get breakfast at Sharkey's before the hungover crowd comes and crowds around the free coffee.
  • you bring workout clothes to go running, swim in the pool or walk the dog istead of sleeping in. 
  • you bring your laptop to get work (i.e, report cards) done instead of the usual afternoon too-many-bloody-marys-and-need-to-rest-to-be-refreshed-to-drink-later-tonight nap time.
  • you talk about weddings and baby names with everyone in the house.
