For your sister's birthday, I would suggest dining at Nancy Lopez Legacy Club. The food is excellent, service is excellent, and you can request a table by a window for a wonderful view.
As for day trips, there is the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa about 90 minutes away; St. Augustine (oldest city in USA) about 2.5 hours away, New Smyrna Beach about 90 minutes; Homasassa Springs State Park (great manatee viewing) about 60 minutes; Winter Park (home of the Tiffany Museum) about 1 hour; and of course - Orlando and all the theme parks about 1 hour.
