Five for Friday: Escape the heat

The fiance and I will be spending as much time together as possible this weekend since he's headed to Kentucky and Tennessee for business next week. We're catching a Diamondbacks game tonight and have talked about taking a little day trip somewhere up north Saturday. Even though it's blazing here in Phoenix, the weather in the high country is perfect right now.

One of the things I love about residing in Arizona is that when it hits triple digits in the city, a cooler (and beautiful) reprieve awaits two hours north. If you ever visit the AZ, be sure to check out any (and all) of these places. Wherever you end up this weekend, may it be full of fun times.

1. Sedona/Oak Creek

2. Grand Canyon

3. Fossil Creek

4. Flagstaff

5. Prescott
