Guy Fieri is reflecting on becoming an empty nester after helping son Ryder move into his college dorm over the weekend.

In an Instagram post Monday, the celebrity chef and television star shared several photos and videos from his experience helping his youngest son, 18, begin his college life at San Diego State University.

The first image shows Guy Fieri, wife Lori Fieri and Ryder Fieri together in Ryder Fieri's college dorm room. A separate video shows Ryder Fieri carrying boxes while walking through what appears to be a dormitory hallway.

Guy Fieri also shared a time-lapse clip of the trio family unpacking and setting up Ryder Fieri's room.

"It was a wild weekend moving @_ryderfieri into the dorms at @sandiegostateuniversity!!" the Food Network star wrote in the caption. "It hasn't fully hit us yet, but not seeing him everyday is gonna be hard."
