Drew joy from memories of vacations to Canada and Disneyland, and traveling to Alaska and Hawaii for Crossmark, Michael loved visiting Giant Springs, Hauser Lake, camping at Lake MacDonald Glacier Park, vacationing to Reno and Las Vegas, NV and hanging out at Redondo Beach at Federal Way Washington.
