Here's one we did: drove to San Antonio and took highway 16 northwest to Bandera, which is a cowboy town. (Take some time to knock around the shops a little.) Continued on 16 to Medina which is a very pretty drive, then through Kerrville to Fredericksburg, where we spent the night.

Fredericksburg has plenty of nice shops for browsing, the Nimitz Musuem and several wineries in the area (Stonewall included) which have tasting rooms. The Texas wine industry has made some good progress.

Directly north of Fred. is Enchanted Rock State Park only 10 - 15 miles away.
And if you have time, you gotta climb that impressive granite dome.

Enjoy.
