Everything You Need to Know to do a Bainbridge Island Day Trip From Seattle Let me start off by saying, I have never been to Martha’s Vineyard or Cape Cod. What a weird way to start a post about an island on the West Coast of the US right? That is because, even though I…

You can see pyramids from ancient civilizations or engulf yourself in culture and music. It’s impossible to see it all in one week. But, if you…
