caught some rays

Soaked up sunshine

Caught some rays means spent time in sunlight, typically for pleasure or to get a tan.

The expression treats sunlight as something tangible that can be gathered or received.

We caught some rays at the beach before heading home.

It's casual and often implies deliberate sun exposure rather than incidental time outdoors.
