From Dallas through lower south...?
I want to make some two week road trips now. I'm thinking as it's still cool maybe I should do a trip from Dallas south and east returning to Dallas in two weeks.
Any ideas or key highways I could follow?

head down to Lockhart TX (just south-southeast of Austin) and try some amazing Hill Country BBQ.
Check out Smitty's, Black's and Kruez for some of the best brisket on earth.
Then head east over thru College Station then over to Sam Houston National Forest - some great riding there!
Then head back north.

I'd like to ride without a map...just head east and stay along the coast....I'd buy some maps along on gas stops. It's nice to not be concerned about where exactly that you are...just stay along the coast and head east.

I used to do that-------but I found out one thing pretty fast.Just so you know the ghettos in Denver Co. are equal to middle class neighborhoods in a few coastal cities .

Unless the end destination is what you are really going for, like the beach in Florida or better. I would go west if I were you!
It is nothing but FLAT all the way to the Atlantic ocean.
Me personally, if I had two weeks to kill? I would head down to I-10 ( I am already there ) and head West to El Paso. Once I cross into New Mexico, I would plan out a route taking all back roads thru NM and Arizona.
Once I get to Phoenix, head north thru Flagstaff and cut thru the corner of Colorado and into Utah. Head up to I-70 then head east to Denver thru the Rocky Mountains. Head south and head back to Dallas thru Amarillo Via Highway 287 to I-35.
Let me tell ya, that is one hell of a ride. Out west is where it's at because almost anywhere you go, it is drop dead beautiful scenery and bad *** roads.
You can find nice rides out east but they are far between and compact areas.
Whatever you do, DO NOT cross into the "SRC" ( Socialist Republic of California ). You can ride up to the border and take a **** into it and laugh but do not cross into it. It's a LONG ride to LA @ 55mph with the Po Po f-ing with you the whole way!

From someone who lives south and east of you.... well, there's I45 to Galveston, and then there's... well, that's about it.
Actually - there are probably some good festivals kicking off in Louisiana. The parts of the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival that I can remember were a lot of fun, and there's a jazz festival coming up in Nawlins fairly soon. Apart from that, as someone else said, it's mostly flat and straight interstate.
How about east and a little north? In two weeks you could hit the Smoky Mountains. That would be a nice ride from Dallas - still a lot of interstate until you get into Alabama, but after that you'd find some nice runs.
