How far away from your birthplace do you live now? (inspired from a fb post)

So on Tuesday the question: How far away from your birthplace do you live now came up on facebook and I must say i saw a lot of answers i was not expecting.  I noticed a lot of people have moved quite a bit and far from their home town, so on that note... I decided to pitch in a write a blog post. 

(I would like to thank those of you that contributed to this question. If you click on the image it will take you to the answers of these amazing peeps! )

The where I live question: i currently am basing out of the west village of new york, but am soon headed to a short stint in the tetons to work on a little stop-motion video (and hopefully see some special friends). i officially reside in washington state, as I have some family responsibilities with a mother with alzheimer's who lives on whidbey island there. my car is registered in wyoming, and i rent out a place in boulder so i can still stay there from time to time. is home where your therapist lives? cause he's in boulder. i ask you.

i'm originally from Corona del Mar, California. And while the place catches a lot of heat for being known of the most externally-oriented places on the planet, I will beg to differ that you can find soulful people anywhere. Newport among em. And well, the chances of these lovely individuals just possibly having a newly shaped nose or above average sized implants, well that's just comes with the territory. But here's why I will always return: the smell of the sage in that stretch of coast between Newport and Laguna. And night blooming jasmine on evening walks. Tacos at Wahoo's, and the sound of crashing waves at the Wedge.

And what's not to love about getting the best beachy hair highlights in the world from a woman named Anja? 
Hope you enjoyed it and feel free to share your thoughts or maybe even your own story!

Fun Zone! Have you tried this?

This was at the fun zone on the newport pennisula where i grew up, and was on a big family outing with my 'blended family' (i have lots of great step siblings..) and we were waiting for our table to have dinner milling about....I grew up jumping on trampolines (we had one in our back yard where all the neighborhood kids would come around and play for hours) but i'd never been on a contraption that safely allowed you to get air that high. the harness was too big for me so i'm wearing some strangers sweatshirt stuffed in the harness too (it also kept my dress from flying up and showing my underwear) 

Anyway, so i tried to get other members of my family to do it. the guy managing the trampoline throws you into back flips and front flips if you are game, and honestly, i've never gotten that much air in my life. and the expression on my face is the terror of letting someone else control how high you get as i was always used to getting the height under my own power, so i'm trying to surrender here, relax here...but i'm not quite there yet as you see on the expression on my face.
