“Loving Island Life” Valentines Day
There is something very romantic about being on an island, especially an island like Bainbridge. We at “Loving Island Life” would like to remind you all that with Valentine’s Day a mere 2 weeks away, it’s time to make those dinner reservations at one of our fabulous local restaurants! With no mega resorts, cruise ships, or loud and flashy night life, Bainbridge Island tends to attract couples and families who are looking to get away from the stresses of everyday life and reconnect in the quiet beauty of nature and small town charm. With our miles of forested hiking trails, beautiful beaches, cozy coffee shops and a charming downtown area, we are sure to have plenty of weekend visitors. Here are a few activities to round out the perfect Valentine’s weekend.
