We are two 30 something year old Midwesterners going to Scottsdale to visit family next week.

We're planning on taking a 3 day get away for Valentines to break up the family visit.

Which would be the most interesting destination for a three day side trip from Phoenix to have some PH phun?

San Diego?
LA?
Sedona/the Grand Canyon?

i know Vegas is an option, too...Not really into the glitz n glamour thing, though...

Any other ideas within 5-6 hours of Phoenix?

Thanks!

Thanks, everyone.

I think Sedona makes the mosts sense.

Has anyone stayed at the Amara Creek resort? Looks nice from the photos online.

I used to live in Flagstaff so if you are interested in what to do in the Sedona/Flagstaff area, PM me and I'll give you the scoop.

A Great Trip

Thanks, everyone.

We had a great trip. Four days in Scottsdale, a stop in Sedona, a stop in Flagstaff for lunch, a night at the Grand Canyon and two nights at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

My fiancee loved the trip. Sedona is such a beautiful place and the Grand Canyon is one of the most awe inspiring places I've ever been. We had a great lunch outside at a microbrewery in Flagstaff.

And Vegas is so much more than gambling...It is like Disney World for grown ups.

We had a great trip. We hope we can make it to Vegas should Jimmy play there again as he did last October!
