Brother in the Barracks

I got to see where my brother is living on campus.  It was nice.  I walked in his tiny room, turned a circle, and said, "This looks like a barracks room for two.  You just need a bunk bed and war lockers in place of the desk."

My mom looked at me and said, "This used to be barracks for Fort Douglas before it was remodeled for the olympians."

It made me feel smart and silly at the same time.  Smart because upon simply walking up the stairs and into his room I could tell that it was a barracks, and silly because I didn't know that it was part of Fort Douglas. Well, live and learn.
