So our mini vacation in Duluth was fun! Why the hell did we go there? Well, a few people said it was a mini San Francisco and recommended it.
Our hotel was nice as we had a 10th floor suite looking over Lake Superior. Did you know to this day, they still find dead bodies from hundreds of years ago in the lake since it's fresh water and so cold?
Walking around downtown, I noticed it was sort of run down with your local wackos hanging about. The shops along the Lakewalk had the obligatory Duluth fridge magnets and postcards. I peaked into the water to see if any human hands frozen in cubes floated about but nothing. For lunch we went to a local Greek festival with dancing people NOT smashing plates. The food on display looked generous so when we actually got our food, we realized they ripped us off on the small-size portions of the Spanokopitas and Dolmades. It was good food though but they could have piled it on for us hungry tourists! In disgust I threw my paper plate on the floor...but of course it didn't smash.
Outside of town was really nice. We stopped by a local fair at Two Harbors. On a stage, they were playing a kids version of
Deal or No Deal which we thought was funny. Instead of silver cases they held up brown file folders with amounts as high as $2 on them!

When you have kid, you have to keep them busy so they pass out for a nap. Here is Toddler Mogul pretending to cook up something at the children's museum.

After he still wouldn't pass out and we didn't have an Chloroform on us, we took him on a short trolley ride. This ride was so short it would be like walking from one end of your house to the other end.

Was Duluth like a mini San Francisco? No way! Where were the gays and the rainbow banners? Where was the fish market? Where was the yummy Chinese food places?
The city is a quaint place for people to see a large body of water and who have never been to the West or East coast. Otherwise, just drive down gorgeous New England where gays and huge portions exist!
