This is a complex decision. It depends on a few different factors. Lifestyle -- how much of an impact will it make to take the 10k hit? It's entirely possible to support a family of four (or five) quite comfortably on 51k per year, but it may require you to make concessions that you're not comfortable making. Do you have a spouse who is working? Perhaps if wifey took a part time job she could make up the difference. Or if she's already working than the family income may be high enough that a 10k per year hit is easily managed.
I'd probably be inclined to look at the upward mobility of the two positions as well. If your current job offers more room for advancement it may be the better option. How important that is to you will depend on your age as well though. If you're fifty you might just be looking to ride it out until retirement. Or maybe not, I don't know.
If you decide to make the move, I'd say try to work it so that you can cash out your vacation time before or during. Might as well take advantage of it if you've got it.
