Dubbed the most romantic holiday of the year, Valentine’s Day is a day for loved ones to spend time together. There are many ways couples celebrate the day or even the weekend: an overnight stay at a hotel, a date night, a new adventure. However, you spend the day with your loved one, spend it in Flint & Genesee.
