Christie to spend the night at Romney’s New Hampshire home

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will meet with 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney during Fourth of July swings through New Hampshire.

The Washington Post reports that Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, will have dinner at the Romney’s Lake Winnipesaukee home, where they will stay the night. And Time adds that Rubio will stay there as well.

{mosads}“Governor Romney heard that his friends, Governor Christie and Senator Rubio, along with their families, would be in Wolfeboro over the July 4th holiday weekend,” a Romney spokesperson told Time. “He and Mrs. Romney opened their home to their friends and look forward to celebrating America’s birthday.”

The summer house is a six-bedroom, 5,400 square-foot home right on the water a tennis court and a horse stable, according to a 2012 blog on the real estate website Zillow. 

Christie is in the Granite State, home of the second presidential nominating contest, as part of a five-day swing. He immediately went north after he announced his candidacy earlier this week, setting up shop in New Hampshire after a quick swing through Maine, where he won the endorsement of Gov. Paul LePage (R). 

The morning after they spend the night at Romney’s Wolfeboro home, both candidates will walk in the town’s Fourth of July parade.

Rubio has also been traveling through New Hampshire and plans to walk with supporters at the parade, before traveling to Chicago on Tuesday.
