Memberships.

I always thought memberships were fantastic, especially for places you live nearby and are interested in.  Let me tell you why.

Because I live in a new city, I like to go out and see the sites, do the touristy stuff so I can say that I did it.  There are several reasons why I have a Coke membership and an Aquarium membership though.  The first being that I am a college student, with some free time now and then, with nothing else to do.  This spare time can be used having fun at the aquarium or drinking all the coke I want.  The second, I do not have a car, so any fun things to do that are more than 5 miles away from a Marta Transit Station is pretty much out of the question.  I can easily ride my bike the 1.5 miles on a whim.  The memberships also pay for themselves, usually after 2 of 3 visits.  For example, a day pass at the World of Coke is $15, and an annual pass is $30.  As long as I go twice within the year, that pass pays for itself.  The aquarium is a little more expensive though.  Day passes are $30, annual memberships are like $75 I think.  So as long as I go 3 times (which I definitely will) it pays for itself.  Not to mention that half of the aquarium pass was a gift.    Thank you Markwith Family  :)

The reason that I bring up the topic is because I have this Saturday off, and I plan on spending a good part of my day drifting in and out of The World of Coke and the Georgia Aquarium as often as I please.  I also plan to look at all the fish I please, drink all the coke I please, then go back to look at more fish.  All I need now is an underwater camera for the touch tank.  That would be pretty wicked.
