The boon hotel+spa and boon eat+drink

We have stayed at this unique Russian River get away two times - the first summer they opened for business (3 years ago) and most recently, Memorial Day weekend in 2010.

What a wonderful find nestled in the California redwoods and close to one of my fave hippie enclaves - Guerneville. (LOVE the 5 and Dime on Main Street!) The rooms are ultra modern and spacious but still comfy with a emphasis on green products - the floors are gorgeous! We had a private porch and fireplace both times and Sue left the fire pit ready for us FRI night when we returned from dinner to enjoy the hot tub. I did a massage on both visits and they were wonderful!

One Speed Pizza - Review times FOUR

As a long time fan of chef Rick Mahon and The Waterboy restaurant in downtown Sacramento, his newest venture, One Speed Pizza in East Sacramento was a must try. Though it opened back in the summer, I have been stalling, hoping to find an opportunity to avoid the very busiest hours (I heard it has been packed since he opened the doors) and go with a large group so we could sample more items. When we were trying to decide where to have our TCW staff meeting, it was quickly decided, kind of a ‘no brainer’, that One Speed was it. We also thought it would be an opportunity for all of us to review the same restaurant so you could hear, in our own unique voices, what we each thought.

Me first!
