Drop by for a visit
http://www.ramfanatic.com/Basketball/waiting_for_things_to_settle.htm
I was unaware of this situation until my traveling buddy Dave and I almost accidentally visited the Ferrum College campus several months ago. Ferrum is a small school located near Rocky Mount, Va. and we dropped by for a visit while on a day trip to another location.

Is the "for a visit" above necessary? "Drop by" means "to pay an informal visit to a person or a place (http://goo.gl/27k8t )," doesn't it?

The "for a visit" doesn't hurt anything, especially in the chatty style of that piece. Slight redundancy is comforting.
