Phoenix/AZ Long Weekend?

[winnied]

My parents are renting a condo in Phoenix for a month in February. H and I can't go for more than a long weekend. Is it worth it to go? It looks like the Grand Canyon is five hrs away so that's obviously not a day trip. Any suggestions or should we wait for another year when we have more time?

I'm sure there's lots you can see if you have more time, but I went twice last year for long weekends to see friends and I didn't run myself ragged or feel like I was missing a bunch on such short trips. It was mostly just nice to get a little sunshine and warmth. I suppose it depends on how long the flight is and whether you'll be escaping cold and snow back home as far as whether it's worth it for you. I've got a short little post in my blog about some of what I did there.

A long weekend is more than enough time for Phoenix/Scottsdale. You can easily go up to Sedona for the day or some of the smaller town like Prescott and Jerome. In Phoenix there are a few things that to me are must-dos, but really it's fine to just go and relax. Just depends on what you want to accomplish with the trip.

exactly this.

I live in Seattle and we go down for a long weekend during the winter months when we need a little sun.

Do you golf? Great time of the year to golf in Phoenix/Scottsdale. I also second the Sedona day trip.

We're flying from DC and I don't golf but H does and he could do that with my dad, I suppose. I'm more of a "doer" than "relaxer" on vacation and I guess I'd like this trip to be a fun trip v. a relaxing weekend away.
