We ventured over to South Carolina to celebrate the engagement of Erin & Brad last weekend. Erin is still in Alabama, so it's always a treat when we get to see her!

Dinner at the Historic Wilcox Hotel in Aiken, SC

 The soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Snead

History of The Willcox: Built in the late 19th century for well-to do Yankees, Aiken was popular with the swells and dandies of the Gilded Age and they came in such numbers every winter that the town was dubbed the "Winter Colony." Great dances were held and ballrooms glittered with candlelight. Old rivals, fiercely competitive but impeccably polite, settled their differences on the polo field. Grand picnics in Hitchcock Woods were laid out with silver, crystal and linen. Politicians, royalty and captains of industry often visited The Willcox. Famous guests included Winston Churchill, Harold Vanderbilt, W.R. Grace, Elizabeth Arden and Count Bernadotte of Sweden. Legend has it that Franklin Delano Roosevelt rode his private train car to the back door and slipped in quietly. It also is said that the Prince of Wales was regretfully turned away during Master's week because there was no room.
