MV Part 2: Flying Horses




The Flying Horses Carousels in Oak Bluffs is a famous landmark - yet incredibly elusive as far as when its open. Last year we kept trying to go but it was always closed so this year it was a priority as soon as we got to the island!


The Carousel is inside a building that has a very Coney Island feel - complete with arcade and its own Zoltar Machine! The added fun of this Carousel is the challenge of grabbing rings as you go around. Whoever gets the "brass ring" wins a free ride! Travis loved this gambling element and kept trying to convince Sophia to take a second ride so he could try again. But of course her second ride she just wanted to sit on the bench - completely out of reach of grabbing rings. Oh parenthood...

Olivia gets nervous on the horses so she and I sat for our ride...
