SummerStaycation-1.jpg

Summer getaways don’t always mean you have to travel long distances when you live in the Valley of The Sun, because we have Staycations!! I’m sure when you are traveling back to the midwest or out east and you use the word staycation other people look at you like you’re crazy, but here in Arizona we all know what it means! It means you pack the kids in the car with your swimsuits and head to one of our amazing local resorts to vacation for a night or two.

We have some of the most beautiful resorts right in our own back yard, so when it heats up and the resort prices drop – it’s time to do an Arizona staycation. Here are four of my favorite locations for a staycation in our town – and check back tomorrow for Jess’s picks!
