day-trips

Short local journeys

Day-trips are excursions completed within a single day, departing and returning without an overnight stay.

The term usually implies leisure travel to a destination close enough to visit comfortably: We took day-trips to the beach all summer.

Day-trip also works as a verb: They day-tripped to wine country.
