AMERICA’S FINEST VALENTINES

Enjoy Some Sweet San Diego Events This February

by LAINEY KRAL

Love is in the air this February, whether you’re feeling the romance or enjoying time with family and friends – and even pets! San Diegans are no strangers to magnificent sunsets and long walks on the beach, of course, but Valentine’s Day is a great chance to stop and appreciate our neighborhood and our community. Make a date with your loved ones to stroll down a familiar trail, explore a new museum exhibit, or make a reservation at your favorite restaurant. Or, mark your calendars for some of San Diego’s unique Valentine’s Day events! 
