4th of July on Martha's Vineyard

The Black Dog

Whenever I think of the 4th of July, my mind quickly races back to our summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard a few years ago. We went a little earlier than usual that year and found ourselves celebrating America's independence near the gazebo in Oaks Bluff.

I fell in love with The Black Dog store in 2000. It was my first trip to Martha's Vineyard and I wanted something to take home that could instantly give me the feeling of being on the island when I left. Well, as I walked around with my future wife, I noticed that a lot of people was wearing T-shirts with a Black Dog on the front and a year on the back. After some searching around, I found the store and instantly fell in love with the concept and the clothes. Now, I try to get something from the store every time I'm on the island. However, since I recently discovered a Black Dog store in Annapolis Md so I'm never too far from the island and never too far from a vaction.

p.s. I'm actually wearing a Black Dog hat in my profile picture.
