Plot[]
SPOILER: Plot details follow.
When Bloo wakes up one morning, he finds out that the other residents of the house, including an immobile friend known as "Never Leave Steve", are missing after Bloo drops a chip on the floor and tries to get someone else to pick it up instead of doing it himself. Unbeknownst to Bloo, Frankie, Mr. Herriman, and the other Foster's residents have all gone to the beach to enjoy a day off and have left Bloo behind on purpose so that he won't ruin their fun, after he did something bad on their last trip to the beach according to Frankie. At first, Bloo is initially bored at having nothing to do until Mac arrives. Mac and Bloo eventually find out where everyone has gone and after some disappointment from Bloo, Mac tells Bloo that the both of them have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do whatever they want at Foster's.
At first, Mac and Bloo run around the house crazily screaming and breaking many little rules, eating ice cream and even making fart sounds on the intercom until Mac insists that he and Bloo make their opportunity the best day of their lives. As the day progresses, Mac and Bloo decide to engage in multiple activities, during which Bloo continuously suggests to Mac that they go hunting for Madame Foster's "Lost Treasure". During their botched attempt to slide down the stairs, Mac and Bloo break a picture frame that reveals a map to the famed Foster's treasure. With little time to properly follow the instructions on the map, Mac and Bloo dig all over Foster's back yard until they find a bag that they believe to be the treasure. To both of their disappointment however, the bag is actually Uncle Pockets's bag of souvenirs. With only a few minutes remaining, Mac and Bloo try to play ball in the house and set up a bucket-of-water prank, but it backfires just in time for everyone to enter the foyer as they clean it up. Frankie tells everyone that the governor has officially banned every Foster's resident from the beach after Wilt had an incident involving jellyfish and sand. After everyone goes upstairs, Frankie tells Mac to never be in a hurry to grow up. Realizing that Frankie is right that he shouldn't be in a hurry to grow up, Mac decided to go watch T.V. with Bloo.
In the ending credits, Madame Foster celebrates Mac and Bloo's failure to locate her treasure, which she picks up and shows to the audience.

Trivia[]
- Bloo ruined a beach trip before this episode, but it wasn't bad enough to get himself or the other Foster's residents banned from the beach by the governor, but in this episode, Wilt ruined the trip, which was bad enough to get himself along with the Foster's residents banned from the beach by the governor. The only details that are given to this incident is messy sand and beached jellyfishes.
- If Mac said they had the entire house for themselves for the next 8 hours before everyone came back, that would mean Mac came to the house at 10 AM.
- The scene where Bloo watches the weather channel and says, "It's hot in Topeka" and "I'm a hot toe picker" can be purchased in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion.
Goofs[]
- In this episode, Mac eats some sugary foods and has no sugar rush.
- When the Foster's residents get home from the beach, Frankie is shown in her normal footwear. Later on, she is wearing sandals.
- In Season 2's "Cookie Dough", Bloo was able to read Coco's cards stating international city names that all only said "Coco", but here he can't read Coco's diary, though it could be that Coco's diary had lots of other vocabulary Bloo couldn't interpret.
