Chapter 2: The West Coast

We have taken a leap of faith.

We have resigned from our company of 12 years and are relocating to San Francisco. It was a difficult decision to make, but one that we are feeling great about. It is definitely time to be near family and back in the civilized bosom of the USA.

So we began the process of once again moving a family across an ocean. It took 8-10 chinese men two days and three small truckloads to get all of our worldly belongings packed, wrapped and headed to a ship bound for the West Coast.

A week later, we were given back our passports and were able to make our escape. And a great escape it was; first to London to visit our family and friends, before making our way onwards (yes, the long way around) to our new home.

Abi loved London. There were still lots of people on the streets to talk to, with the very big addition of very good parks with lots of swings (her absolute favorite). We caught up with as many of our friends as possible and met the newest member of the Philips family, Maeve Kathryn. Such a beautiful girl!

After a week of fun in London, Jacqueline and Barry waved goodbye to the Ambrose family with mixed feelings since they finally get their flat back to themselves! And Abi and Christy head Westwards to the California coast while Jason returns to China for a few meetings and a workshop; our first ex-RTKL commission!
