jaunt
Quick pleasure outing
A jaunt is a short trip taken for pleasure or leisure, typically brief and lighthearted: a weekend jaunt to the coast, a quick jaunt into town.
The word suggests something casual and enjoyable rather than a serious journey.
To jaunt is to take such a trip, though the noun is far more common.
