Looking at Instagrams of tots having the time of their lives while we slog at work, longing for those days again. So, when we saw this in-room tent at the tony Four Seasons Washington, D.C., we just wanted to jump in (and push everyone else under age 10 out) and play! What comes with this "Camp Out" experience? The tent, hamburgers, and s'mores. And if you want, they'll bring up a Wii and video games, too. How cool is that? Just makes you want to go all Chanize 2013-04-03T18:18:57-05:00 See Cherry Blossoms Bloom From Mandarin Oriental DC Bathroom http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2013/3/12/173159/739 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/36985/MODCSuiteBathroom_.jpg" class="top"> Its the start of the magical<a href="http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/about/"> cherry blossom season</a> in Washington DC and it's also HCs unofficial Bathroom Tuesday.
