Strange filepath issue when using get_template_directory

I am trying to follow along with the "Building a WordPress Theme with Foundation 5" workshop. When I tried to enqueue some stylesheets like I've done many times before I ran into a bug I've never encountered before

Here is my code in the functions.php file.

function foundation_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'foundation', get_template_directory() . '/css/foundation.css' );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'foundation_styles' );

When viewing page source this is the file path that was enqueued: http://localhost/FoundationwebsiteC:xampphtdocsFoundationwebsite/wp-content/themes/foundation/css/foundation.css?ver=4.0

Instead it should be:

http://localhost/Foundationwebsite/wp-content/themes/foundation/css/foundation.css?ver=4.0

Notice the C:xampphtdocsFoundationwebsite/ hidden in the middle of the file path.

The exact same thing happened when I used get_stylesheet_directory() instead of get_template_directory()

The filepath for my local install is:

C:\xampp\htdocs\Foundationwebsite\wp-content\themes\foundation\css

Anyone know what is causing my filepath to be so funky?
