Every single time I drive up to San Diego, I'm curious if there was a way to access this lagoon. Finally, I saw my way into this peaceful nature. There were some wildlife birds just relaxing soaking in the sun, while small fishes swimming in the water. Very calm environment to stay at for about an hour or less. You can also walk on a trail along the epic lagoon view. Parking is available in a small parking area. Nice quick spot to just free your mind away from your everyday life.

Tourist attraction…read more.. This point of interest was on my list of places to visit for a long time. Why did I not go sooner? ...Probably because The Grand Avenue Bridge is located at the "beginning" of San Diego - in Del Mar. Usually, our first stop is a foodie place - instead of a Point of Interest - like this one. Grand Avenue Bridge (like Craig Y. said) is more like a pier because it stops in the middle of the wetlands. It doesn't connect from point to point. It was roped off on 5-7-23 for safety reasons, so, we just walked around to get better views of this landmark. Established in 2016, the Grand Avenue Bridge is popular for its walking paths in the area. The wild flowers, fresh air, free parking, and beautiful landscape is very relaxing and a perfect start to a wonderful vacation!

It is considered to be #40 on the San Diego Historic Landmark list. It is also on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It was home to George White Marston and his wife Anna Gunn Marston. The family of George and Anna donated the house to the City of San Diego and it was converted into a museum in 1987. We kind of stumbled onto the Marston House. The majority of us wanted to explore other parts of San Diego while we were killing time before our check-in at our Vrbo, but my mother insisted on us staying at Balboa Park after already spending half a day there. We were all tired and ready to go somewhere else, but nobody says No to my Mother. LOL. We decided to wonder down to the George W. Marston House. I will say I'm glad we did. We didn't go inside, but we wandered the grounds. We explored the garden and checked out the different flowers. We took in the architecture of the Marston House. Mom, you were right this time! It was worth the visit! I wish we took a tour inside. Next time!

There isn't much to see but a few pictures hanging on the wall, some artifacts in enclosed glass display cases, and some historical facts that you can read. There is also a wall with the height markings where you can take your own mug shots. We think the height markings are accurate despite us finding out that one is shorter than what we had been saying- luckily they won't be locking us up for lying this whole time! One of the cell doors is open in case you want to go in and get a feel for the cell space. But aside from that, you'll be in and out within a matter of minutes. Really not much to see, but while on your way to restroom or on your way out, check it out as it is cool to see some of historic San Diego. According to the pictures and signs, this jail was in operation during the 1940s. Pretty cool find and for a dollar, you can even take a photo booth picture and not even have to get charged with a crime!
