evins mill

for our anniversary, we escaped Nashville for a quick overnight trip just outside of town. we left Eli in the capable hands of some friends and headed to Evins Mill in Smithville, TN.

it was a perfect little respite. dinner in the rustic lodge. a walk around the old grist mill. morning spent reading on the rocking chair porch overlooking a creek. we meant to wake up early and hike to the waterfall before breakfast, but instead slept in for the first time in seven months.

since then, life has resumed a pace i can hardly keep up with. photographs of our wilderness hideaway are a nice reminder of quieter days...
