Congratulations. Welcome. Spring will be here before you know it - do you know about Virginia Highland Haven yet? We have some really beautiful state parks right here in VA - and your little peanut is perfect for the "Lets leave work early Friday and do a weekend 50 miles down the road." And don't discount that you've got a couple of nice places 10 miles away from your home, so you could park the camper for a week and camp every evening after you get home from work, especially in the spring and fall before the tourists drive the prices up!
Oh - when you go - go to your laundry room and turn off the water supply to your washer. We had a call at our answering service not too long ago from someone who had a washer hose leak that turned into "burst" while they were in Hawaii. A neighbor noticed water running out from under the garage door, assumed it was the water heater located in the garage, and turned off their water at the street... but the washer & dryer were on the second floor. Damage that remained unmitigated for over 8 days - $100,000 for the restoration company. What a sour note to end a great vacation on. And those poor people didn't even have an Airstream to stay in while the work was being done on the house.
In some respects indoor plumbing is a bit overrated. If I ever own another home it will be retrofitted with floor drains in every plumbed room!
