Bainbridge Island

This year I booked a night away for our anniversary.  I tried for somewhere we had never been, within a 2 hour drive, and preferably not colder than Bothell.  Brainbridge Island was a great choice!

Quaint little town, right on the water, little shops and cute restaurants, and an adorable hotel in the middle of a little Christmas village.  

We strolled around the little shops (found the cutest toy store, high end antique shop, used book/music store) and stopped at the Blackbird Bakery for hot cocoa (with toast and jam?)

I couldn't get over how cute our room was!  The pictures don't do it justice.  

Complete with matching bathrobes:)

And an ocean view

At night, the whole area lit up with Christmas lights.  

So grateful for Mike and the life we've build together.
