After much prayer and a leap of faith Jon applied to The University of Florida's Business School. Since getting accepted into UF's MBA program many doors have opened. It is so nice to see that our decision to stay in Gainesville for an extra year has immediately paid off. As soon as he got his acceptance letter one of his professors at Pharmacy School approached Jon for an internship opportunity in Charlotte, North Carolina. The details of the internship sounded amazing and so after asking me if he should do it (which I immediately said of course!) we headed to Charlotte.
Jon after our 71/2 hour trip! We took a detour to Paula Dean's restaurant in Savannah, Georgia but they were so booked, the wait time was 2 hours and we were still 5 hours away. Once we arrived to Charlotte we dropped off our things at our hotel and headed straight to downtown to do some exploring in our temporary new town. We ate at a neat pizza restaurant and then went to see "Speed Racer" on Imax. It was GREAT! 
Albert survived the car trip and 3 nights at 2 different hotels. What a trooper. We feel bad that he has to temporarily live in this small tank but we couldn't take his humongous 2ND home tank with a built in heater and a coliseum with us.
