AWESOME! 
I am SO happy for you. I lived in Virginia in the late 70's when my ex-husband was in the Navy. We enjoyed it very much.
I left my home state of TX in 1988 and moved to California. It's the best decision I've ever made. From 2016 - 2024 I worked for/with a friend (who has a small business) in Dallas. It was AWFUL! The weather was absolutely unbearable and because TX has their own power grid we lost electricity on a regular basis.
No offense to Texans but it's not at all for me. In fact, my high school reunion is coming up at the end of October and I don't even know if I want to go. There are some real right-wing trumpsters who'll be there, (I've kept up with various people on FB) and I don't know if I can enjoy myself....
