Tall Ships returning to Duluth in 2010!

January 21st, 2010 by Angie Allen

Once again, the spectacular Tall Ships will be returning to Duluth!  This event is one that you don’t want to miss.  It is an opportunity to step aboard and tour one of these magnificent vessels, and even set sail on beautiful Lake Superior.   The fleet will feature international vessels racing to six cities in the US and Canada, and this is Lake Superior’s ONLY port of call for this challenge.   They will begin arriving on July 28, 2010 with the Parade of Sail; the grand entry through the canal and Opening Ceremony on July 29th.  You will be able to tour the ships in the harbor and of the festival grounds from July 30 through August 2.  On August 3rd the ships will depart to their next leg of the Challenge.

Now, needless to say the city will swell to enormous levels during this time, so make your reservations at the A G Thomson House today so you don’t miss out on this event, and a stay at one of Duluth’s finest Bed and Breakfast.  We are ideally situated in Duluth’s historic mansion district, minutes from the event and a great retreat at the end of experiencing this historic event.  Our private, secluded grounds will allow you to wind down, relax, and rejuvenate after a day of experiencing history and the beauty of Duluth, the North Shore, and Lake Superior. 

At our Duluth MN Bed and Breakfast, we are ready to welcome you – always!  But we encourage you to reserve your room now, and secure this time to enjoy a once in a lifetime event.  You won’t be sorry!!!  We will see you soon!

I Love my Kids, BUT…

December 28th, 2009 by Angie Allen

As relatively new “empty nesters”, and having experienced a few urgent phone calls home from our college freshman, a thought came to mind one day. How many parents out there; whether new, seasoned, or empty nesters, are constantly giving and giving to their kids – selflessly and without a second thought about themselves. We love and adore our children, and want to give them the very best as parents, and the best opportunities that we possibly can in today’s world. But we also need to take a step back on occasion, and put ourselves and our relationships first. We will be better people, better partners, and better parents for it. So as I hung up from the phone call from my fantastic child (we are very lucky parents), I said to myself…”I love my daughter, but…” and hence the new package addition!

Whether it’s this package, or any one of many others that we offer, we urge you to take time for yourselves and your relationships. A stay at the A G Thomson House in spectacular Duluth MN is a great way to start!
