When I first moved to San Francisco, I was warned about the 4th of July. It would be foggy and freezing, and all I’d hear was the boom of the fireworks as the sparks disappeared behind the clouds. But, San Francisco has figured this out. So they have their 4th of July fireworks a bit early – in May. They call it Kaboom – it’s a fireworks show set to music. I felt like a giddy kid the whole time. I give it two big thumbs up.

We enjoyed watching the Rif Raf and the Los Lonely Boys with Eric and Kelda, and considered buying corndogs and glow-in-the-dark necklaces while waiting for the Ka-Boom!
