You were expecting a gigantic sign that reads: "Mind the Step" perhaps?
From what I've read, technically, since Voyager hasn't passed the Oort Cloud yet, it's still in the Solar System. Still, for a probe launched 1977 to have gone so far and still be operational is beyond impressive.
Would be nice....

It's passed the heliopause, or the limits of the Sun's influence.
The Oort cloud extends more than a light year from the Sun, and Voyager won't make it there for thousands of years. And they certainly are tough probes!
