The Oldest Running Merry-Go-Round in the US - Oak Bluffs Flying Horses (year 2000).

Anyone who knows me and the Whitney family, knows two things: 1.) We love taking photographs
2.) We frequent Martha's Vineyard almost every summer, and during that time ride the Flying Horses of Oak Bluffs.

This page is a start at the posting of the many years we have done both. Check back for updates!
