Video Summary
AI GeneratedA family spends their first day of vacation in Ocean City, Maryland, balancing beach activities with boardwalk exploration. Despite a severe jellyfish infestation and an incoming storm, they enjoy swimming, dining at a favorite local restaurant, and playing arcade games.
Good morning from Ocean City, Maryland.
The missus and I are here getting our spot set up.
That's where we're staying right there.
And in fact, you can see her little hammock thing right in that window,
but we're getting our spot and we're going to go for a walk here this morning.
Beautiful out here.
Sun's out.
Waves are rolling in and we're going to enjoy today as our first day at the
beach.
Watch your steps out here because there are jellyfish and jellyfish and jellyfish
right before I came here. I noticed we got a comment that said, Hey,
I was just an Ocean City loved it, but the jellyfish are bad this year.
And I was like, huh, let me look into that.
It turns out that this is the worst jellyfish situation they've had in 50 years
here due to a number of things,
including warmer than average temperatures in the water,
lack of storms out in the Atlantic ocean.
And the salinity of the water is apparently a little bit higher right now too,
which is a perfect breeding ground for jellyfish.
I've learned all of this about jellyfish.
So you got to be careful swimming out here because you could get stung,
which isn't catastrophic. It won't kill you,
but it definitely can leave a hurt on you when they sting you.
So as you may notice, we're early in the day right now,
but nobody's in the water. Look at that unit.
You can see all of these dangly parts back there.
I think that's the stuff you don't want to get hit with. One's in the back.
Goodness. They look like aliens.
The birds of Ocean City right in front of my favorite building architecturally
down here. I just love that place. It's like Clark Hall's at the Coliseum.
You can see it, can't you? What a shot.
And we got dolphins in the background too.
Oh, the boat's going to get a great view of those. Show me your Dorito.
He's like, Oh, it's my Dorito. Look at that.
Living the good life. Thanks. And Dorito's gone.
You looking for shells? Looking for sea glass.
How many miles did we do? Two miles?
2.4. That's pretty good. We're going to go get the Clark man,
get the Indiana ding dong. And then this is going to be our day today.
We're going to be hanging out down here.
It gets so quiet when you come up just a little bit from the beach.
Mouthy.
Good. You ready to go to the beach?
Could have went for a two mile walk with us if you wanted to.
It was like one hour.
I got our spot out there, bubs. We're all set up.
Yup. We're the two chairs with the umbrella.
It's down right to the right of the tent. That's our spot.
Oh yeah. She got this collection. Any good ones?
Oh yeah. How's the sand feel?
I had a feeling. Just watch out for those guys right there.
That guy right there. Yeah.
I think that when the tide's going out, it takes the jellyfish out.
So you don't have to worry too much.
First ocean touch of 2026. In the books. Here's the vibe out here.
They are. They're bigger than I remember.
We got yamma damma ding dong out here. Reading, studying.
We got the missus sunbathing. She'll maybe cut that part.
Clark man's part at work already making his castle.
Nice. Good track. We're a little scared of jellyfish.
So we're going to go into the pool.
I brought the pool key with me for such events.
Let's see if there's anybody in the pool out here.
We have this swimming session to bring you our sponsor,
which I'm not actually our sponsor, but we're having chips.
Go jump in the water right beside Yemi there.
Mind if I practice my cannonballs? Boom.
We're going back to the ocean again. Well, to the beach, I should say.
Oh, I'm still in the shade a little bit too. What happened?
No, you're good. This is what Clark man comes to the beach to do.
He likes to build stuff in the sand. If he's not building with plastic bricks,
he's building with sand.
When your hands are sandy and you need a drink.
You're wondering how he got so thirsty.
It was from digging this trench that I almost fell in.
I'm happy with my sand clearing issues today.
We got my cave that got filled in.
It's a whole world out here.
Won't be around tomorrow though.
Not when the tide comes up, I don't think.
Hello up there. Clark man's coming up.
He's cooked.
I'm going to stay out here and probably take a nap and all that fun stuff.
But Clark man wants to come up.
You know you were serious down there when you are literally sandy from head to
toe.
Okay. You should be good. I'll see you up there in a little bit.
I might be taking a nap. All right. Love you bubs.
I'm the last survivor out here staying out at the beach as long as I can today.
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. This is what I come here for.
And just like that, we're all dressed up and schnazzed up.
We're about to head out for dinner in my favorite restaurant down on the
boardwalk, which if we zoom in,
you can't see it. We zoomed way down there. It's down that way.
He's got her sweatshirt. I don't have to buy one this year.
And if she gets pooped on, we'll be okay. We'll have to buy you one.
Deb. Oh, you brought a toy with you.
Oh, you're not going to need that sweatshirt anytime soon.
It's toasty out here. Hotter than Frick. Yeah. She's learning the lingo.
We need to remember this spot. Okay.
18th street is where we're at right beside the crazy kids in the pool up there.
Welcome to the boardwalk, everyone.
This is like my favorite thing about ocean city. Here we are.
Coastal salt. And there's these guys.
We got a good spot.
This is the location of my favorite restaurant in ocean city.
We came across this what two years ago.
Maybe I had a meal here and it's fantastic.
Two years. Hello. We have four outside of a good place.
I think last year we were like right there.
I'm getting this right here. Fine selection. What am I getting?
It's on here somewhere. Right there.
The South Pacific snapper. Incredible.
What's on the menu for you?
What are these drinks they've got here? The summer sips. Did you see that?
That's jalapeno in it. Yeah. All right. We can share that.
I bet this is really pretty at night with the lights on and stuff out there.
We're just early eaters. That's our problem.
Franco's. Yeah.
There was a place that we ate at and it was like down in,
we were here a few years ago. Yeah. I remember that.
I don't remember it down underneath.
We got the drink, the watermelon morgue.
That's the best part.
Just okay. Yeah. For $16.
Ooh. It doesn't, I, the jalapenos coming through. Look at that.
Spicy watermelon morgue. Ooh. I felt that in my nose.
Look at that. That's looking good.
We lost Yanny. She's in the bathroom, but there's your food there.
Wow. That looks nice.
What are you even going to do? Clark, man.
I've been looking forward to this since we were here last time.
Clark being going in crab cake sandwich.
It's like being a captain Georges without all the inconvenience and without
driving to North Carolina. Look at the bird out there on top of the thing.
He's mouthing off up there.
Camille is gone, but the dad tax is getting paid.
He didn't even notice dinner done out onto the
boardwalk. Beautiful out here. You're beautiful out here.
You are too. Both of you.
We should get a picture while the golden hour is on us.
You're walking for a while.
Coastal salts right there. Look at Clark lounging out over here.
All right, I'll get a picture. You want it to be vertical or how do you want it to
be? Oh, that would be so cool.
Oh, Deb wants to be popular with the seagulls.
They look hungry, huh? Should have saved him some snapper.
They'd be going nuts. At what point are we going to get pooped on here?
I'm just waiting for it.
She's scared.
Generational trauma from last year. Let me see if I can walk up to this one.
Nope. He doesn't want it. He's like, I'd rather not actually.
Here's where we're trying to get to. Not Subway.
We're going to Dodo, the edible cookie dough and ice cream place.
This is all just cookie dough, right?
Mine's a little crazier, but I'm going to need some help. Thank you so much.
It's a lot.
That's probably all my calories in one thing right there.
That guy was checking out. He's like, all right, I'm dripping all over myself.
Someone finished this. I don't know who did it, but I'll find the culprit.
There he is.
She ate half of that and now she's eating Clark pants.
We know who the true culprit is.
Those dogs away, buddy.
Croc flops. Croc flops.
That's actually a good idea of where they put like the little hole holes,
like on the flip flop straps.
So you can put your croc toms on your flip flops.
This could be a great invention.
I need the craft.
Clark and I are speed running our way down to Marty's all the way at the end
down here.
We got a little bit of a storm action possibly rolling in and our car is all
the way back on 17th street.
So we got to get our ski balling in and somehow get back to the car without
getting soaked. Yeah, me and mom are, they're going to find us eventually.
And goo is falling on hard times again. Need some money.
We got her sister now out here.
Oh man. I thought their show was doing really well.
I know. I thought it was like one of the number one things on Disney floss.
I guess, I guess not.
Let's check out T's play.
Here's the old school ski ball. Just like Kenobo is only twice the cost.
Oh no. It's only 25 cents to play here. Wow.
Marty's way to go, man. All right, let's get a card and we'll,
we'll do some runs.
I'll do 20 bucks and we'll use it throughout the week. Does that sound good?
Okay, here we go. Maybe.
Bruh. This is Marty's in a nutshell. All right,
let's come down here. Try this one. There we go.
We get to play here.
I feel like this one's a little harder than Kenobo's because the 30,
40 and 50 are all the same size. It's a little challenging.
Okay. He's cooking. Got some tickets there too.
You got 30 seconds.
I have no idea what to do.
Try again. One more.
Yeah, I suppose. They need to give you a strong card.
You're on it. These are so scammy, dude.
You want to play something else? Look around. They got coin pushers here.
They got key chain spinners.
They've got other cool machines. They got actually plushies.
They got Pokemon cards.
Oh my God. Look at that. It's just looking pretty rough out here.
Oh yeah, we can look for it. Clark's going to play Monopoly.
This is how you get big tickets. What? I see it out there.
Okay. We'll save our tickets then. Okay, go ahead.
Tickets. What? Do one more.
We can't go out on five tickets.
Mom's going to do one.
I guess the most you could win is like 50 I think. Boardwalk is 50.
All right, we'll take that I guess. We paid a dollar for 20 tickets.
I've got a bunch in my pocket here too.
We should put these on the thing. That way we don't have to carry these around.
We had to keep switching machines because half of them are like broken.
We would swipe our thing. It would charge us and then nothing would happen.
So we lost a lot of tickets for that.
Put the tickets on our card and then we'll save them throughout the week.
And then when we come back, we'll just keep stacking on that.
And then one of these days we'll get something incredible like a,
I have that. I have that same card. 86? Okay.
This is giving me some Florida vibes out here before we get completely
dumped on. All right. If it starts raining, just go inside Marty's.
Do you want me to leave you with the card just in case you go in?
You might keep the card just in case you and Yemi can go have some fun in there.
Yeah, we'll go and we'll get the car. Oh, I almost lost my hat.
We'll get some. Clark has money on his card still. So we got to come back.
I saw some lightning out there. I just missed that really good one.
You'll have to pretend cause I wasn't recording there. This place is crazy.
Oh, I think I got that one right after the bikes.
I missed all the epic. Oh, there it goes. That was okay. We got it.
I'm happy with that.
Go right down here and go fetch the boy and because we're,
Oh yeah, this is perfect. I'll just pull up right here.
Here comes the rain ever so slightly starting to come down.
Good timing. Bubs, where's mom and Yemi? I've seen terrible things.
I don't know. The rain started. Are they coming down the ramp right now?
Where are they at? Um, they're about to come here. Okay. I want some good tickets,
buds. Oh, did you go back in? Yeah, I went back in.
I found this game where like you pull this,
like you push down on this ball thing at a certain point and you can win up to
150 tickets. I won like 50 and like 25 tickets. Nice.
That's way better than the five we got in Monopoly, huh? Jeez, that's cool.
I'm glad you guys went back in cause that took a long time for us to walk.
You guys only got a little wet, huh?
That's just what you do in ocean city. You hang out on the ramp.
That was officially our first day in ocean city.
Got the whole rest of the week ahead of us here.
Hopefully with less rain.
