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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
