Visiting CA near Ramona for a few days.

Planning on hitting a few breweries of course. Does anyone have any suggestions on things for 2 adults to do or places to visit in the San Diego area that are can't miss while we're here through Monday?

Beautiful drive along the backroads of San Diego County, and it's interesting to see the telescope.

Old Town at the intersection of I-5 and I-8 is a pleasant touristy stroll.

Cabrillo Monument is the best place to see San Diego Bay almost in its entirety.

Balboa Park has a few interesting museums, and there's always the SD Zoo and Wild Animal Park.

We have already discovered Balboa Park and spent one whle day there and plan to go back Monday. We're planning to go to the Midway museum and the gaslamp district museum along with another couple breweries (we went to Stone yesterday) tomorrow and visit some wineries in Sunday. The observatory sounds like a great idea and we may try to wedge that into one lf our next evenings.
Thanks for the tips
