A "weekend getaway" is a term used to describe a short trip or vacation taken during a weekend, typically on Friday evening after work and returning back on Sunday night. The purpose of such a trip is usually to relax, unwind and have some fun away from the daily routine and stress of everyday life. It can involve traveling to a nearby destination, such as a beach or mountain resort, or even just spending time at home doing enjoyable activities like hiking, visiting local attractions, trying out new restaurants, or simply taking a break from work and responsibilities. A weekend getaway is a great way to recharge one's batteries and come back to work feeling refreshed and revitalized.
