Bay St Louis is an hour away. Has a small but nice downtown and the second Saturday night of every month all the shops stay open late and they usually have a band playing on the main street. Has a new B&B/hotel that just opened that is supposed to be pretty nice.

Destin is only 3.5 hours away

Orange Beach is 2.5

Grand Isle is 1.45 m

Memphis is an option

Lake Charles la burge is 3 hours

Biloxi is 1.45 m.

Unless you wanna go to Baton Rouge and catch an LSU Baseball or Basketball game those are your only options.

The fishing is good south of Houma is thats your thing.

Point Clear, Alabama. Stay at the Marriot Grand Hotel. A little more than a 3 hour drive.

If you both enjoy history, drive up to Vicksburg and tour the Vicksburg National Military Park, the U.S.S. Cairo Museum , The Old Courthouse, Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum etc. You can stay at a Bed & Breakfast like Anchuca or Baer House Inn. Lots of Bed & Breakfast places there.

Map the drive.

Natchez is an even easier drive if it's the time of the year to tour the antebellum homes there.
