When my wife explained the concept of a 'babymoon', I quickly got on board. Nestled in the rolling farmland just outside Nashville, Southlall Farm & Inn was the perfect mix of luxury, relaxation, and unique experiences. From the moment we arrived, the beautiful property and warm hospitality put us at ease. We started our trip with a hike around the property. There are paths with guideposts and you can make your way around. Although we stayed at the 'Inn' which is the main hotel part, there are charming little bungalows scattered around the rolling Tennessee hills. Next time we'll be in one of those! After our hike, we hit the spa. My wife did a pre-natal massage while I did a sound bath. It's basically a guided meditation with someone using glass bowls to make soothing, rhythmic noises. I'm sure I'll remember it fondly in three months when my newborn is giving me a much different sound bath. The spa attendant Marvin was exceptional - warm, friendly, attentive (for the record, everyone at this resort could be described that way, but Marvin made an impression). After my wife's pre-natal massage and my sound bath, we relaxed in the mineral pool which has 60 minerals. Is that enough minerals for you? The mineral pool wasn't like other pools - you actually get out feeling really moisturized and hydrated instead of dried out from all the chemicals. After the spa, my wife relaxed on a daybed in the aptly named relaxation lounge, which has a selection of homemade teas and tiny tea cookies. All very luxurious. While she did that, I went to "Tequila & Honey", which was held in Southall's Jammery. Quick aside: Southall makes almost all of their food onsite, including several large greenhouses around the property. They also raise 3 million bees and employ two full-time beekeepers (name one other resort with full-time beekeepers). Anyways, Southall's honey has won lots of awards and this 'experience' was an eight part tasting menu that paired small bites of really good food with various tequilas and honeys. The tasting was led by a chef (forgot his name) and Katherine, the beekeeper, whose enthusiasm for all things honey was infectious. I learned a lot about bees and honey, really interesting stuff, but I also drank a lot of tequila and forgot everything I learned. We ended the trip with dinner at January, the fine dining restaurant within Southall. The food was unbelievable. Much of it grown on site or purchased from local farmers. The highlight for me was the Bear Creek Farm Coppa Steak. I can't even do it justice. Coppa is a cut of meat taken from a pig's shoulder and the chef at January sous vides the meat for 24 hours. It was the moist tender pork I've ever had with a sprinkle of crunchy breadcrumbs on top. My wife summarized the trip really well: Southall is easy to get to but still feels like a getaway. You don't have to go far to feel like you're somewhere else. We will definitely be back Other stand outs from our weekend: the homemade ca
