And my one piece of advice??? ENJOY YOUR FAMILY! A year ago at Christmas time, we, as a family, decided to go on a winter vacation together instead of buying presents for everyone. So we traveled to Gulf Shores, Alabama for a week for Christmas. Thirteen of us, ranging in age from 6-67 and we had the time of our lives. Four different families represented and we really had an amazing time. Now, where are we going next Christmas……………Hmmmmmmm?? We may have to find some golf courses next year and “take a mulligan.” Give me some vacation advice or more 2019 advice at livingwater@indytel.com or call me at 319.327.4640. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
