Here's the long story, wife and I are both from New England. 2 years ago the wife got a huge promotion at work. (She's the brains of the family) So we moved from R.I. to SoCal. Then 11 weeks ago we decided we wanted to move back. Well it was more like 3 months ago, but lets just say 11 weeks for fun. Well the company I worked for invited me back so we said "lets go!" All of our family is here in R.I. and greater New England so that was a big reason. That and we want to have kids soon and didn't want to raise them in SoCal. Nothing wrong with SoCal, just not where we wanted to be.
So no real culture shock to speak of.
