About 700 attendees descended upon the high-class retreat on Friday, and will remain there over the weekend. Among the retreat attendees include those considered to be on Romney's VP shortlist, including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Attendees will be participating in discussions and lectures from the likes of Sen. John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, as well as networking social events. Those in attendance will also be treated to the sight of Olympic ski jump hopefuls practicing near the retreat and Romney "swag" including baseball hats, tote bags and in some cases, personal thank you notes from Romney's National Finance Chairman.
