			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer in Minnesota is almost over and many of you have yet to take a vacation.  May I suggest a night or two at our <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/index.html">Historic Inn and Restaurant </a>located on the shores of beautiful <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/webcam.html">Green Lake </a>in Spicer, MN.  Stay with us Thursday, August 26th or Friday, August 27th and not only get a deal on your room but also a certificate to our restaurant or <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/cruise.html">dinner cruise</a>.    Enjoy a <strong>20% lodging discount</strong> along with a <strong>$25.00 certificate to our restaurant or</strong> <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/cruise.html">dinner cruise</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_466" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-466" title="Spicer Castle Inn &amp; Restaurant" src="http://www.spicercastle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Spicer-Castle-300x200.jpg" alt="Located on 5 wooded acres of beautiful Green Lake" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Located on 5 wooded acres of beautiful Green Lake</p></div>
<p>In the evening relax as you sit  by the bonfire overlooking spectacular <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/webcam.html">Green Lake</a> while you roast marshmallows, make smores and tell tales.   Be sure to bring your camera to remember the magnificent sunset over <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/webcam.html">Green Lake</a>. </p>
<p>Later on enjoy a glass of wine while soaking in a <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/rm-john.html">double whirlpool tub </a>and if the night is cool, watch the flames dance in the fireplace.  Sleep peacefully in a cozy bed and awaken to a hearty breakfast.</p>
