Draining water heater, put anode back in or not?

Got home last week after a 4 month trip in wives trailer. First time we've ever owned a Suburban water heater with the anode. We won't be using it again till mid June for a 2 month trip. How is...

I don't know if I'm doing anything majorly wrong, but I use no attachment when flushing out the water heater. I hold the hose to the opening, let it run for 20 seconds, let go and it whooshes out. I can stick my finger in and feel all the sediment on the bottom. Once I can feel no sediment, I'm done. Am I missing anything by not using the flushing attachment?
