10 Nearby Things to See and Do in May

You know it's spring when the museums and gifts shops open up and you can see the peach and cherry blossoms on the trees. Along about May 20, the apple blossoms are in full bloom too and a what a beautiful sight to see. The month of May is jam packed with things to see and do in the nearby area just minutes from Maxwell Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast.

In addition, just a couple miles from the Inn two new restaurants have come to Sodus Point, NY. My husband and I recently checked out Marlin's the other night and we were delighted with not only our wonderful meal of scallops, but also with the service.  The menu is a bit more up scale - not bar food like the other restaurants, and a bit more expensive. They offer handcrafted food and drinks concentrating on seafood. We felt the food and service was worth the price. And the dining room has a great view of Sodus Bay.

Also, Six50 will open at the end of the month. Their expertise is in preparing meals in a wood-fired oven featuring local farm fresh ingredients. I'll keep you posted when we check them out.
