As the holiday season winds down to a close thoughts now turn to resolutions and goals for the coming year. If you are looking to start the year off with a literal bang then be sure to venture out along The Embarcadero as San Francisco provides a colorful, awe inspiring, and booming welcome to 2019 over the bay waters. Enjoy the excitement and thrills, but avoid the chills by remembering to bundle up.
