Less likely your pump is over,

for that age/mileage. You can check it your self:
Open the hood, find the water pump. It is close to the alternator. The pump pulley is about 3" in diameter(I remember it is black color?) with n=4 10mm bolts fastened to the pump. If unsure, Google it.

Once you locate the pump, start the engine, watch the water pump and see if there is any pink color liquid come out under the pulley. You may want to buy a dentist mirror (very cheap, $5?) and check it under the pulley, a flash light will help. If you see some pink color residue under the pulley, don't be panic. Check and see if it is wet. A certain amount residue is normal (refer to the link below). If the residue is gross and wet, then you start to worry.

Rule of thumb - if you don't see liquid dripping out while the engine is idling, close the hood and enjoy the trip. Check it again next year.
