road trips
Long driving vacations
Road trips are long-distance journeys by car, typically for pleasure rather than necessity.
The term evokes American automotive culture—highways, roadside attractions, and the freedom of the open road: We took a road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway.
As a verb, to road-trip is to take such a journey: Let's road-trip to Vegas this weekend.
