daytripping
One-day travel jaunt
Daytripping is taking a short recreational outing that doesn't require an overnight stay—visiting a nearby town, beach, or attraction and returning the same day: We spent Sunday daytripping along the coast.
The term evokes casual leisure travel, distinct from more ambitious vacationing.
A daytrip is the noun; a daytripper is someone who takes such excursions.
