family visit
Kin coming over
A family visit is a trip to see relatives, or time spent with family members who come to see you.
The phrase often carries undertones of obligation or mixed emotions—anticipation tempered by the stress of navigating family dynamics: The family visit went better than expected.
In prison contexts, a family visit specifically means approved time with relatives, sometimes in private quarters.
