I don't consider California part of the 50 states of the United States, so if you do choose to move, welcome back! Texas seems like a decent place; my dad went to school there when he was young, and I have a pair or relatives further south in the same state. No glaring drawbacks that I've heard of from them, aside from the fact that everything is about 2 hours apart.

If I became the king of the state, I'd sell Northern VA off to MD probably. The two have way more in common.

I fully understand the desire to go where the opportunity is, and circumstances seem to support doing it now given your family situation.
I also think Austin would be a good place to consider, from what little I know, and the reading I have done. My question is, have you considered options outside the US? International surveys on quality of life, liveability, crime, education, and city infrastructure would put Honolulu in the top of US cities, at around #29 (reference Mercer's report, and the EIU report, both released in 2009). San Francisco rates at around the same, at #30. There are 28 cities ahead of those two, however. Closest to you would be Vancouver (#4), or Calgary (#15). You would have to reset your expectations on taxes, however

Northern Va or Maryland. Plenty of jobs being next to the capital as well of plenty of educated diverse cultures makes it much more interesting. Good schools too.

This is a very interesting post to me. I have been relocating for over a year, and Austin has been at the very top of my list in many categories. It seems to be very well rounded in the most important categories to me: education (grad schools specifically), stable economy, culture and arts, recreation, cost of living, weather, friendliness of residents, taxes, relative growth.
The other cities that rank highly in my research: Salt Lake City Denver (where I am from) Minneapolis Scottsdale (spent a lot of time there) Seattle
