For me it's sitting on the beach for any longer than 30 minutes. I have to be doing something on the beach. I can't just lounge there for hours on end
lots of good ones, but this right here. my family has stopped asking for beach trips. not that i wouldn't go or would have a bad attitude. after sitting out there and having the wind blow in our face for a while, i would just go for a walk or find something to do.
as others have said,
parades
golf
concerts
even live sporting events aren't what i fondly remember them to be. my kids love going to NBA, CBB, and CFB games and have way more opportunities than i did in West Texas and would have loved to do that at their age but i don't have the heart for it. traffic and crowds. i'd rather watch it on my deck with a beer 9/10 times.
i don't dislike hunting and fishing, but after my late 30s, getting up early doesn't come as easily as it used to. i'll go but i'm not getting up before 6 AM to do it.

The type of hunting I grew up on (deer, rifle) just doesn't appeal to me anymore. Same for typical southeastern bass fishing.
I love hunting, but I dont really care if I shoot something. Theres over 20 million acres of public land in our backyard here.
Its all free range. You can hike up a mountain with a gun and call it hunting.
I love to fish, but I dont like to clean so most of it is returned.

Or, when they're older, a chance to show them how to grill, to bond. Amd a way to enjoy the great weather
this weekend my 14 year old did a campout with some of his friends. he's always cooking or helping me grill.
he told the guys that he would handle the burgers and did such.
when i picked him up his friend told us it was some of the best burgers they've ever had. i'm sure the memory with friends adds to that, but it's a proud moment.
but i love cooking, smoking, and grilling.

I do like grilling/smoking
But I'd be lying if I said a considerable portion of it isn't getting to spend an hour outside drinking a beer by myself or lightly supervising one of our boys while my wife handles the rest of the evening chaos

I see a lot of people putting golf on here. When I was younger I loved playing golf. I put a decent amount of effort into getting to a near single digit handicap back in college. It’s hard y’all and requires time and repetition. And that’s not sustainable for most people.
I played pretty consistently thru my 20s and mid 30s. I’d say I got to a point where I was good enough that I could play well enough to enjoy myself no matter how long it had been in between. I’m not talking winning anything, but socially.
Since Covid, I just find that I have no free time anymore. Kids and work take up a ton of time, and I bought a fishing kayak and I just really enjoy being on the water. So if I’ve got spare time that’s probably what I’m doing. Plus, I don’t have anyone to play with. There was a time when I really enjoyed getting paired up with people. Not so much anymore. And it’s gotten to where every course on the north shore is a 6 hr round. That’s no fun for anyone.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy playing. I do. And anytime I go out I have a great time. But I just don’t look at it anymore as a must do. I’ve wondered if I was able to find a group of regulars if that would change my mind.

It is with a brand new vehicle. Then you start to see rock chips and it becomes a pissed off Sunday.

Florida in the summer. My brother moved south of Jacksonville a few years back. We're moving our annual visits to the Fall, June-August is too dang brutal.
Other than canoeing the springs, any other outdoor activity is a short trip to a heat stroke.

Traveling. Air travel has become a miserable experience, and after a day or 2 at our destination, I’m ready to go home. There’s nothing relaxing about trips.

I own hunting land and don’t hunt, no interest in it, that’s for the kids, I have however developed a passion for habitat management, frickin love it. It’s gonna take years to get the property the way I want it, but loving the process.

the beach
all that freaking sand is annoying to me. Gets on everything, follows you back to your room.
