Yuma is known as the “sunniest city on earth,” where you have warm weather 91% of the year. This weather makes it suitable for agriculture, growing over 175 types of crops, of which the prominent is lettuce. Yuma is also the largest military population as it has many military bases. But there are also many family outing locations where you can enjoy yourself with your family. Have you ever taken a break from your busy life just to make memories with your loved ones? We often miss out on making time for our loved ones and later regret those missed out moments.
