Go to the Gulf Coast. Galvaston, Corpus Christi or Padre Island. The weather is still warm so you'll have fun.
Or you could take the short one hour drive to San Antonio and see the historic sites, do some shopping on the Riverwalk and eat some good food.
Have fun!

For a day trip, consider the Austin Steam Train:
The Austin Steam Train offers you a year-round choice of excursions. The trains are operated by the dedicated staff and volunteer crews of the Austin Steam Train Association, a community-based non-profit organization.
Escape from the 21st Century and relax with us on a ride through American railroading’s romantic past. Let the rivers and ranches of the Texas Hill Country, or the historic neighborhoods and lush parks of the heart of Austin, slip by your window as you, your family and friends share the delights of an adventure on Central Texas’ very own vintage passenger train!

The Austin Amtrack station is immediately north of the river at Lamar. The site below gives you some information about the route it takes. Sounds interesting.

Yes, I would go to Norman, OK. Home of the Sooners. Awesome town.
