Pima Airplane Museum: (I loved this museum! and JFK's Airforce One, it's a great experience to visit this museum, recommended to anyone with a hobby for planes/history)
Anyways, I can't do any justice for either Tucson or Phoenix by posting pictures of them. They're simply not photogenic cities, you have to see them in person to like them and see what they're about.
But out of all of the places I've been to in Arizona, (Flagstaff to skii, Tucson, Phoenix, Sedona-Oyster Creek Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Yuma) I recommend visiting all of those places. Well besides Yuma, there's really nothing special there lol.
These two states are completely polar opposites.
One is harshly cold, the other is scourging hot.
One is a red state (for now) the other is a blue state.
One's got mountains everywhere, the other has lakes everywhere.
One is in the desert, the other is more lush green and tree filled.
This really is a matter of personal preference in which state you'd prefer to live in. Hot or Cold. Your pick.
Arizona has lakes you have Lake Mead,Lake Havasu and others
That's insane!! Everything is still slightly visible outside Til 10:00PM?
Most definitely. Our northern latitude makes our days longer in summer and shorter in winter. During the summer it starts getting light around 4am and doesn't get completely dark until around 11pm. This is how we're able to squeeze so much activity into our relatively short summers.
It's not quite so insane, if you go north far enough, you can have months without a sunset in the summer, but in the winter you'll barely ever see the sun. Around the summer solstice here we also get sunrises at around 5:00 AM, but it starts becoming light out about an hour earlier than that.
Simple science: the rotation of the earth provides more or less sunlight as one goes north. I can see the difference between San Francisco and Los Angeles [only 400 miles apart]. Alaska is the "land of the midnight sun". That would be great to experience. I hope to visit Alaska some day.
Arizona does not have any natural lakes. Those lakes are fake, just dammed rivers or reservoirs. Fake lakes don't count. We don't need fake lakes up here - we have thousands of real ones.

What's the difference? Can you swim\ water ski\ fish\ boat on both natural & man-made lakes? Yes. The damning of rivers into reservoirs is a common practice in the West. The flow of water into the lake is fresh and it eventually drains back into a river. Let's no be too picayune!
