Day trip

A day trip is a visit to a tourist destination or visitor attraction from a person's home, hotel, or hostel in the morning, returning to the same lodging in the evening. The day trip is a form of recreational travel and leisure to a location that is close enough to make a round-trip within a day and does not require an overnight stay. The logistics and/or costs of spending nights on the road are worth avoiding.

Such travel of using one location as a homebase is popular with budget and active travelers to avoid finding new lodging at each destination.
A caregiver may take a day trip from their home to return to their children or pets.
