A Duluth Weekend.

Now that I have had some time to sort and upload all of the photos I took this past weekend in Duluth I thought I’d blog a bit about them. I already had a Duluth, MN photoset started but I added a bunch of beautiful photos of the Lift Bridge, Canal Park, and parts of the Duluth skyline. While we were in Canal Park we also visited the Lake Superior Maritime Museum which is owned and operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The museum features artifacts and information about Lake Superior and the massive in-land harbor based in Duluth. They also have exhibits on the other great lakes, the ship wrecks, weather, all of the different technology used, just endless information about the importance of in-land shipping and maritime culture.

I mentioned before that we we’re going to dinner last Friday, the big mystery location was the Top of the Harbor Restaurant which is located on the roof level of the Radisson Hotel in downtown Duluth. Top of the Harbor is a rotating restaurant with an amazing view of the harbor and the hills that surround the city. My mother wrote more about the restaurants we visited this weekend but if you’re interested in the pictures you can find them in this photoset.

For lunch on Saturday we went to this place near Canal Park called Hell’s Kitchen. It’s not quite like the TV show, instead Hell’s Kitchen is a gothic themed restaurant with a limited but amazing selection of food. Only the pictures can describe what this place is like, and again you can find a more detailed review here.

We did have plenty of time to enjoy the sites of Duluth but most of the weekend was spent in the Hotel, Edgewater Resort and Waterpark. Although I didn’t personally spend a lot of time in the waterpark this place offers plenty to do for everyone. They have a good size arcade, daily activities and crafts, blazing fast broadband internet, and the breakfast bar turns into a fully featured lounge in the evening for some good clean alcohol inspired family fun! I took plenty of pictures, take a look for yourself.

There’s so much to see and do in Duluth that there’s no question why it’s one of my favorite Minnesota destinations. I’m glad that I had a chance to spend some time there this weekend and I can’t wait to do it again.
