Welcome marsupial.
Is there a story behind your moniker? |

I was raised in Fairfield, currently live in Redding. I have close family still in Vacaville, Sacramento, Concord and Pittsburg. We've got much of Northern California covered. Danimal, listen to your wife. Its a great place to live and raise a family. And heaven knows there is plenty of mental illness here to keep you busy.

Close to in-laws is all relative. When I worked in Sacramento, it would take me 45 minutes to travel about 10 miles. Living and working in the Bay area could easily double your drive time. So even if you are 25 miles from the in-laws, it may as well be 2 hours, and most would agree that 2 hours is a good buffer.

As it is now, my parents visit 2-3 times a year and stay a week. So, I think a once a month visit for a few hours on a Saturday or a Sunday would be preferred to the current 24-7 in our house for an entire week three weeks out of the year.

Welcome.
I was born in No Cal and have family there and in Southern Oregon. I wouldn't try to live in No Cal these days. Housing prices are through the roof, clouds, and lunar orbit, and there seems to be more than the usual sample of complete crazies there. Maybe that's just the South Bay and Peninsula though.
