My room at @oldtowncosmo ! When I annoy the boss badly enough, he sends me on what he calls “business trips” and I call vacations- can’t complain really! With a bed like that, I can’t wait to dive into the dreamscape and go lucid! . . . If you live to dream, or are just fascinated by what your nightborn fancies might mean... be sure to check out The @u_mind_pod interview with @kathleenokeefekanavos -It’s a good one! She even interprets one of my own dreams, which started me back into writing my graphic novel series “Lost Bread” a chronicle of my lucid dream adventures. . . .

Living Coast is a non profit zoo and aquarium that strives to inspire love and stewardship of San Diego’s precious coastal habitat through education, animal encounters and even reintroduction programs for enlisted species like the Ridgeway Rail (also known as the Clapper Rail).

Enjoying the historic sites of @oldtownsandiego Scratch is partial to @whaleyhouse so we set out to see what was going on there. It hasn’t reopened yet from the looks of things and we miss it. We were there so often it feels like a home away from home. #whaleyhouse #oldtownsandiego #historicsandiego #sandiego #staycation #vacationvibes #springtime #california #saveourhistory #sandiegoheritage #vintage #history #springbreak2021 #wandering #oldwest #travel #travelgram #travelphotography #vacationmode (at Old Town San Diego State Historic Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6odQXjUWa/?igshid=gvlhcu213vsr

Today we’re at the @oldtowncosmo in @oldtownsandiego continuing Staycation 2021 to help support local businesses impacted by the lockdowns. The Cosmopolitan Hotel stands on the grounds where Juan Bandini’s mansion once stood in the 1830’s. It was a place reknowned for lavish soirées and celebration. When The United States took control over California in the 1840s, many of the original Californios struggled financially as the economy shifted from one based in ranching and cattle to a more merchant driven model. Juan Bandini was eventually forced to surrender his estate in 1859 to pay off debts. He died shortly thereafter. Fortunately, in 1869, Albert Seeley, a stagecoach operator, purchased the property. He added a second story and expanded the downstairs parlor to create a stagecoach stop, where weary travelers could rest and dine. He promised the Bandini children that they would always have a room available with him. We’re going to be staying in a room favoured by one of Bandini’s daughters. #history #sandiegohistory #sandiego #sandiegoheritage #oldtownsandiego #oldtownstatehistoricpark #cosmopolitanhoteloldtownsandiego #staycation #staycation2021 #supportlocalbusiness #supportsandiegobusinesses #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #saveourhistory #vintage #californiahistory #californiadreaming (at Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/COuFCvdDxse/?igshid=1vdjipf6so4zb

“Visions Through Time” (available at www.thelucidnap.com- click the link in my bio) This piece was inspired by the now defunct Sky Room cocktail lounge in the El Cortez Hotel (now an apartment complex) in Downtown San Diego. The hotel was a thriving hot spot, but as so many old buildings do, fell into disrepair. Thankfully today, it’s been lovingly renovated and refurbished into luxury condominiums! San Diego is a city with a rich and fascinating history that continues to inspire my art and writing to this day. #elcortez #sandiego #springbreak2021 #sandiegohistory #skyroomlounge #historichotels #travel #travelphotography #travelart #travelgram #vaction #renovation #saveourhistory #springtime #soringtimevibes #birds #memories #sandiegoheritage #staycation #staycation2021 (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN3VJeljv8n/?igshid=1jb5sw8j69zd4

Old Town San Diego’s El Campo cemetery, established in 1849 is now a historic site. It serves as the final resting place for many figures of early San Diego lore. . . . Paved streets and sidewalks now cover some of the original plots, which are marked by small metal discs labeled “gravesite”. People tell stories about parking near these markers and returning to find their car battery dead. . . . Out front of the cemetery, there is a bronze bell, one of several placed along the California Mission trail in 1906. #california #californiahistory #statepark #cemetary #hauntedhistory #grave #oldtownsandiego #missiontrails #sandiegoheritage #spooky #creepingwaveradio #creepingwaveradiopodcast #travel #travelphotography #travelbloggers #travelgram #bronzebell #theumindpodcast #sandiego #lucidnapproductions #nightphotography #lostbreadcomic #afterlife #momentomori #peace #deathpositive (at Old Town San Diego State Historic Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7_1ka4p__d/?igshid=1o18oewjxa35z

The grand staircase of @hortongrandhotel located in the @saltwhiskeysd was preserved for the most part from the original hotel. During reconstruction at the Horton Grand’s current location, the staircase was moved on site, only to discover that several pieces were either missing or had not survived their stay in the warehouse. Craftsmen were called out to restore this magnificent piece, contributing hundreds of hours of carving, sculpting and carpentry prowess to see thay this bit of San Diego Heritage survived! #hortongrandhotel #sandiegoheritage #art #artisan #carpentry #woodworking #history #historichotels #historichotelsofamerica #historichotelsofcalifornia #craftsmanship #victorian #vintage #saveourhistory #sandiego #sandiegolife #podcastlife #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #artistsoninstagram #travelblogger #historylesson #creepingwaveradio #creepingwaveradiopodcast #theumindpodcast #historichotels #podetnfamily #comicbookartist #illustrator #artistonthemove (at Horton Grand Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6uRFvzJbo4/?igshid=1r5islsbcdp7c

This entire wall at @saltwhiskeysd was imported as a single piece, to maintain this original mural from when the establishment was The Palace Bar at The @hortongrandhotel You can see the fireplace still say The Palace Bar on it. #sandiegohistory #sandiegoheritage #historichotels #historichotelsofamerica #californiahistory #travel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travellife #traveltheworld #travelgram #historytravel #historytraveller #holidayseason #podcastlife #podcastlifestyle #podernfamily #podernfamilynetwork #audiodrama #audiodramasunday #creepingwaveradio #creepingwaveradiopodcast #theumindpodcast #lucidnapproductions #art #sandiegoart #sandiegoculture #lostbreadcomics #palacebar #hortongrandhotel (at Salt & Whiskey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6gSEFlJGFi/?igshid=1firhub1tknqx

Our suite at The @hortongrandhotel came with a fire place! The hotel is part of San Diego’s heritage. The building as it stands now was originally two buildings, the Horton Grand Hotel and The Brooklyn Kahle Saddlery. The buildings were scheduled for demolition in the 70’s to make way for a shopping mall, the now defunct Horton Plaza. Happily, The Hotel and Saddlery were instead taken down, one brick at a time, with careful cataloging of all the buildings components. The remnants were stored for reconstruction at a later date. That date came in 1986, when they were resurrected and joined together by an atrium at the entrance. Some people like to say this hotel is haunted, but those would have to be some pretty patient ghosts! Wouldn’t matter to us either way, we love staying in hotels with history! #hotels #history #travel #travelgram #travelphotography #travelblogger #historichotels #sandiegoheritage #historicsandiego #hortongrandhotel #brooklynkahlesaddleryhotel #artistsoninstagram #podcasters #podcastlife #podernfamily #podernfamilynetwork #creepingwaveradio #creepingwaveradiopodcast #theumindpodcast #staycation #aplacetosetyourhat #lucidnapproductions #lostbreadcomics #bed #bedroomdecor #fireplace (at Horton Grand Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ezJYhp2t5/?igshid=he60caam2t4y

More pre-podcast rituals! I’ve driven by An’s Dry Cleaning @ansdrycleaning a handful of times but never have I been in till today. It used to be a dryclaner, but is now a gelato shop with some very unique flavors! It kept the theme of a dry cleaning business to preserve the character of the neighborhood! I had “Crushed Velvet” which is raspberry and rose water flavored. #gelato #ansdrycleaning #northpark #sandiegoheritage #sandiego #icecream #desserts #foodie #travel #specialplaces #podcasting #podcast #podcastlife #podcastlifestyle #podcastlove #recordingtonight (at An's Dry Cleaning) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GMDWJJRm3/?igshid=qryxffsneug8
