Old-Time Southern Charm

Aiken, South Carolina, United States
We left Atlanta late this morning after going to Dallas, Paulding County, to see if we could find out any more about the Strickland ancestors in the area. We stopped at the Dallas Public Library and were allowed to use their genealogy room which had a few good resources for Phil. During the morning, we drove past another Strickland street sign. This time in Dallas, Georgia.

We left the Atlanta metro area by mid-day for the drive to Aiken, South Carolina . This is the first time either Phil or I have been to South Carolina. We chose to stop in Aiken for the small town feel and to stay at The Willcox which is one of the top-rated hotels in the world by Travel and Leisure magazine this year. It is a beautiful hotel that first opened in 1900. We had an amazing dinner in their restaurant tonight and will have breakfast here tomorrow. It is just beautiful.
