CELEBRITY

We started a little family vacation today - just Melissa and I with Caleb and Sarah and Melissa's mom, Trudy. We are headed down to Florida tomorrow but decided today to make a slight detour through Georgia in order to see Fort Moore (formerly "Fort Benning") where Caleb will be stationed come July. 

So tonight we are staying in a rundown Comfort Inn on the edge of Columbus, Georgia after a long and mostly uneventful day of driving. Tomorrow we will check out the base and a local military museum before heading down to our Airbnb on Navarre Beach.

The highlight of today was walking into a Cracker Barrel for dinner and meeting a podcaster Caleb listens to on a regular basis. I had never heard of this guy, but he's got millions of views on his YouTube videos. 

Caleb recognized him immediately and was almost speechless after greeting him. His little sister found it amusing that he was so star struck.

It's funny how anyone can become a "celebrity" - at least to some sliver of the population - in this age of the internet.
