Happy Birthday Jessica! Celebrating With Adventures With Tokyo Sumos! Cabo’s Fish Frenzy! The Big Apple Too!

Happy Birthday Jessica!

Happy happy birthday to my daughter Jessica – who is probably so excited that I’m posting this that she is sailing through the air like this!

I also love this airborne shot, since nothing can hold her back – she’s fearless too!

Here’s a montage of some fun shots – I love the shot of the recent pic with her brother Jeff – terrific! And of course husband Mike and Sydney and Luke as well! And her sister-in-law Eleanor joined us at Soho House for some black-n-white fun too!

Jessica is a runner and long distance cyclist, and for those grueling activities you need energy – and that’s where I come in!

Yes, she shares my interest in wild and wacky burgers, and on the trip we took to Tokyo once, she was open to trying that “Green Peas Pachisio Burger!”

She was also willing to hang out with these two Sumos:

Yes, Tokyo was a fun adventure to be sure!

We also had a blast in Cabo San Lucas one year!

I shared this story of our impromptu getaway to Cabo San Lucas a couple of years ago – it was Jessica’s terrific idea – and we went snorkeling and came across a pod of whales literally right in front of us!

What’s so cool about Cabo is that it sits at the spot where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea Of Cortez – in this clip you will see Cabo then I pan to the left and you see the arch that separates the Sea Of Cortez from the Pacific Ocean:

We loved going out on the sailboat and one day we went snorkeling – and discovered there is a fish feeding frenzy in the water!

Jessica, her husband Mike and kids Sydney and Luke came to New York this spring and we went to the top of the Empire State Building – oh, and took a boat ride to a very famous statue as well!

So many fun adventures!
