Doesn't have to be, there are some excellent seafood restaurants all around the area, Kemah boardwalk is the most popular (used to be a very salty town, now more upscale). NASA is right there, they just brought the shuttle transport in, should be worth a look. Decent night life if you're into that. The weather this weekend has been absolutely perfect, humidity low enough to give you a static shock getting out of your car, 80's, clear, unlimited visibility. Hopefully it'll hold out for your visit.
oops, meant that for logitech
