Minocqua speaks … Continue reading It’s More than a Pool

Why spend all the money when you can't even do everything? Why put yourself through the stress? Wait until they're older they all say - they're too little to remember it. In fact, in preparing to plan our first vacation with our daughter, a co-worker pretty much thought I was crazy. Well, I have the magic secret to making it the best experience possible....
