weekend trip
Saturday-Sunday excursion away
A weekend trip is a short journey taken over Saturday and Sunday, typically for leisure or a quick getaway.
The term implies returning home by Monday: We took a weekend trip to the coast.
Weekend trips usually involve destinations close enough to maximize time there rather than time traveling.
