Note
A noun turned verb, and a regular one: once weekend came to mean spending the weekend, it simply took -ed, so one form serves both the past (they weekended by the lake) and the perfect (they have weekended there for years). Spending the weekend needs no object, so the verb usually travels with a phrase of place instead: weekended in, at, or with someone.
