She doesn't - we have 3 small kids and she plans to return to work when the youngest is a little older, which is maybe 2-3 years from now.

We're clearly not planning to go there based on weather and scenery. I think you need to consider the family support network that exists for us out there and the stage we're at in our lives - I'm certainly not out surfing/hiking every day with 3 little ones and no family here. And the sunshine can only do so much when you're stuck in an open-plan cubicle from 9-6 every day. Right now my passion outside family and work is car restoration and I am dreaming of a nice detached workshop/garage with plenty of space. I am also ready to embrace activities like hunting and I don't think you can overestimate how much my kids enjoy their time with grandparents.
