It is my anniversary! 25 years ago this week I started writing columns to save you money in the AJC. When I first started with the AJC in 1990, I wrote only about travel bargains. Over the years I morphed to bargains of all kinds.

I love a deal and can’t wait to share them with you. How better to celebrate my anniversary than with a fantastic deal for you. Museums all across the metro area are giving 2 for 1 specials from April 25th to May 1st. You have a choice of nearly three dozen spots you can visit with a friend for half price! The Atlanta Botanical Garden, The Atlanta History Center, The Georgia Aquarium, Fernbank, The High Museum, and World of Coca Cola are just a few of the places you can get the deal.

You need to register for a coupon for the 2 for 1. If you go to the website www.atlanta.net/museumweek/ you will see how easy it is to get the bargain and see all the places you have always intended to visit, but never got around to them.

Remember, Mother’s Day is May 10th. You can show mom you are really planning ahead for her by taking your mom on a visit to a museum of her choice.
