make/take a trip

Do these sound perfectly natural or a little awkward?
1. I made a pleasure trip to ....
2. I took a business trip to ....

Thank you.

Hi You never really 'make' a trip. It sounds better to say ' I took a business trip' or 'I am taking a business trip' It sounds awkard to say I am taking a pleasure trip and never used. Question: Is this trip for business or pleasure?
