We decided to book a weekend stay in Philly to celebrate our 55th anniversary. With a little searching we found a lovely B&B near 18th & Pine–La Reserve convenient to the Kimmel Center for our Philly Orchestra concert, our favorite restaurant La Viola and of course some geocaches accessible by SEPTA bus.
We left home a little after 9 AM to drive to the Wawa (Wawa PA near Media PA) station, parked Ms. Merlot in the covered garage and paid for 2 nights parking.
Made the 10:08 AM departure to Suburban station. From there we took Bus 17 to 19th & Pine. Walked with 1 rolling suitcase the 2 blocks to La Reserve and had an early check in. We enjoyed lunch after settling in.
Then we were off via SEPTA Bus 2 and 64 to get to the Washington/South Street area. All bundled up against the cold we found 3 geocaches in a few blocks.
Returned to our B&B via bus 40 and walked the 2 blocks from the nearest stop. Inside it was toasty warm!! Had a cup of tea, did some reading and rested up before heading out to dinner and concert.
Departed the B&B around 5 PM for La Viola where we discovered it was “restaurant week”. Had a lovely dinner with a nice wine we brought along (BYOB). Then on to the concert at the Kimmel.
Now time to call it a day! Tomorrow beckons….
Happy anniversary from both of us! Enjoy Philadelphia – it is a beautiful city, we also loved our time there.
Congratulations on another amazing adventure and your 55th anniversary.
What a great way to start a new chapter on your journey together.
We must get together soon to continue the celebration. 🎉
Happy Anniversary you two! Looks like a nice celebration on a cold day in Philly. Stay safe and warm. Love you both!
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! Looks like a wonderful, full day. A nice way to celebrate 55 years of marriage! You both like great. And it looks like Mom no longer is using a cane. The new knee must be doing well.
Love,
Jeannie
