There’s No Place like Home (the people not the place!)

This weekend, I was lucky enough to have my home come to me! My mom, dad, and sister arrived in Dublin and surprised me while I was running a clinic for Templeogue basketball. There are few moments in my life where I have felt happier, and I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling since. My team manager and ladies secretary (shoutout to my Irish parents Alan and Glenda <3) set up a reservation to get brunch so we could catch up.

My parents were lucky enough to catch a game on Saturday night (we got the W). We played other SCL Victory Scholar, Summer, who my parents and I have known since Summer and I were about 10 years old. So they not only got to see me play, but also one of my long time AAU teammates and competitors.

On Sunday, my family and I did a hop on hop off bus tour of Dublin. We stopped off at (you guessed it) the Guinness Storehouse. If you have never been to the Guinness Storehouse, I would definitely recommend it. Inside there were 7 floors, where we explored the ingredients of Guinness, how it is made, how to taste test it, past and present advertisements, restaurants, and finally, the gravity bar. The Gravity Bar is one of the highest points in Dublin, where we were given a free pint of Guinness and got to experience the entire skyline of Dublin. It was absolutely breathtaking.

Check out some of the pictures that I have from this weekend, including Summer and my lovely family
