I'd actually considered this a while ago, and then forgot. But today in the mail I got a letter from the local Zoo saying that a 14 month membership would only be $59 if I bought it before December 8th. The level of membership that is $59 includes one free guest once a day and includes a ticket to the concerts they have in the summer.

I know what you're thinking, will I actually use it? I think I would. If I had it. It's normally $9.50 plus $1 to park. That means that if I went once a month for 7 months, by myself, I would save money. Not to mention the concert tickets or the specialty things they have during the year, like ZooLights and stuff. Oh and the membership includes parking.

But I don't go now so would I go? I really think I would. What stops me from going now is in part the cost and in part, I forget about it but that has to do with the cost. IE if it costs I conveniently forget about it. But I do have people who visit from out of town on occasion, and it'd be nice to have some place to take them 'for free'.

Not to mention, the animals are just darn cool. But where am I going to come up with the $59?

Well my birthday is coming up in November. People always ask me what I want and I never know. Usually I say nothing but this year I can say, I want a Zoo pass and it costs more than I expect anyone to pay individually, so why don't you all go in together on it? Between DB2, DB1 & SIL, DF & DSM I think they could swing $59.

Now that that's settled, I just need to remember to remind them when the time comes.
