Bed & Breakfast Holdiay Tour

The annual Duluth Bed & Breakfast Holiday Tour (featuring all 8 Inns) is almost here and we are busy preparing. The kitchen is full of the wonderful baking aromas of Scandinavian Almond Shortbread and Belgian Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Balls--2 delightful treats the Ellery House will be serving to all who come through our doors on December 2. The sounds of our family string quartet will follow you as you wander through the festively decorated rooms. Don't linger too long as there are 7 other great inns to see. Tickets (only $20) for this wonderful event may be purchased by calling us at 1-800-355-3794 or 218-724-7639.

Speaking of family quartets, my mother is a professional violinist and teacher and has just moved to Duluth, along with my Dad the sometimes violist. They will join our two sons and myself in our family musicale the day of the Tour. The time and effort involved in moving them here (from Iowa) was tremendous, but they love their beautiful apartment at the newly built Lakeshore Living right on Lake Superior. They moved here for the lake view, not to mention spending more time with the grandchildren. Thanksgiving Dinner never looked so good with a backdrop of the sun shining off blue Lake Superior waters.

That's all from the good life in Duluth.
