Weekend Gateaway during COVID-19

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all are doing fine and manages to stay sane 🙂

We are a couple of international graduate students located in Houston and my gf has a birthday upcoming. We are not a couple who loves partying, instead we are more of a calmer ones who like to visit new places, go hiking, eat some nice local foods etc. :). So, I am trying to figure out if there are any nice places to visit around Houston either for a day trip or a weekend trip where we can enjoy her birthday together as a couple. So far, we've been to Austin and San Antonio but never visited anywhere else! If there are places you think we must see, can you guys please share them here?

Thank you already and stay safe please!
