promenaded
Took a stroll
Promenaded is the past tense of promenade, meaning to walk in a leisurely, often public fashion—typically along a path designed for such strolling: They promenaded along the boardwalk at sunset.
The word carries a slightly formal or old-fashioned air, evoking the ritual social walks of earlier eras when being seen was part of the point.
