A 5.5-hour drive will take you from the blistering Phoenix summer to a beautiful day in San Diego.

When we made the trip the first week of July, I recorded parts of it (like I did en route to Pasadena a couple years ago).

This time, I used Instagram Stories to shoot video – capturing location and temperature info at the same time.

It was 104F (40C) when we left Phoenix and 73F (22 C), when we arrived in San Diego. Big difference!
