\"Valentine'sEvery February 14th, chocolates and flowers and red and pink hearts fill the air. Valentine’s Day, whether you love it or hate it, has become one of the biggest celebrations in the US. History tells us the origins of Valentine's Day started in 270 A.D. when Christians commemorated the death of St. Valentine. This tradition took a turn during the Middle Ages. February 14th was believed to be the start of the birds mating season, which added the idea of romance to Valentine’s Day.  <\/p>\n

Steeped in history but now a commercial holiday, celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved ones, either at home here at Spinnaker Bay, or enjoy a night out on the town!<\/p>\n
