In 2009 we took a family trip to Clovis to support Jim at theUnited States Masters Swimmers Short Course Yards National Meet.
Following the meet and day trips around Fresno we ventured farther north into Oakhurst where we spent Mother's Day and stayed in the modern yet rustic Queen's Inn.
Then we drove into Yosemite Valley for a day of hiking and exploring.
We had lunch at the Awahnee Hotel and Merrik went fishing in the Merced River.
It was a beautiful time of year in the Valley and this short trip as a family will always be a fond memory.

Kristianne Koch is an on-location contemporary portrait and fine art photographer exploring and capturing our world in images that express it's beauty, intensity and gentleness. She has captured thousands of moments in time during her adventures at home and abroad.
Whether she is reefing in the sail on a 38 foot sailboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean or watching her 1 and 4 year old play in the waves at Linda Lane Beach in San Clemente, Kristianne is at home in the not so usual places that make up our unique world.
Her passion to preserve the natural order of things was initially inspired by her climbs in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada and ultimately sealed by a two year sailing trip to the most isolated and beautiful islands on the planet.
Her fine art photographs have been exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions across the country.
