After a difficult week of parenting (skipped naps, our preschooler eating toothpaste and then vomiting all over the house, early mornings and lots of tantrums), Andy and I needed some time to escape from our children. It was his brilliant idea to hop on our bikes and head for the tree house. A tree house and bicycles may seem like a strange way for adults to escape from children, but actually it was the perfect way to spend an evening. With our children with a sitter we packed a picnic and settled in among the branches to sip some wine, listen to the marsh sounds, and watch the boats come in from an afternoon at sea.
We aren't sure who built this place, but it sits on the shore of the Wando river on Daniel Island. With nothing to do and a view that looked something like the picture below, it was easy to remember why we moved to Charleston, why we live on Daniel Island, and most importantly, why we married each other.
And since Daniel Island is so incredibly bike friendly we were able to bike home much, much later, maybe a little tipsy from the wine, with no worries about our safety. But not before stopping off here for a nightcap.
