family outing
Household group adventure
A family outing is a recreational trip or excursion taken together by family members—a visit to the zoo, a day at the beach, a picnic in the park.
The term suggests wholesome togetherness and often appears in nostalgic or ironic contexts: Our family outings always ended with someone crying in the car.
