Nothing like coming home to 4 inches of water throughout the house, and it happens more than you'd think.

Also find where you water meter is and make sure you can get the top off. I came home to a flooded basement from a pipe that broke before the shut off valve in the basement, 13" of water in a 900 sq foot basement was not fun.
Like Tony said, know where your main breaker is and take the time to go through the house and lable the breakers for each room / outlet.
Also I'd check the smoke detectors... they may be new but not the greatest quailty. Do a search on photoelectric vs ionization smoke detectors.
