Romney family vacation in Wolfeboro, N.H. The Republican presidential candidate took time off the campaign trail for his family’s annual vacation at their home on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee.

The vacation home of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney rests beside Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, N.H. The 13-acre estate features a six-bedroom house, a horse stable with guest apartments above it, a $630,000 boat house, tennis and volleyball courts and a shoreline stretching 768 feet — more than double the length of a football field — according to public property records. Romney and his wife, Ann, purchased the home in 1997 for $2.5 million and later bought adjoining land. This year, records show, the estate was assessed at $8 million.

Mitt Romney, at right next to his wife, Ann Romney, with his grandchildren seated on the bow, drives his boat out of his vacation home on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, N.H. The candidate who so often seems uptight appears to let loose here, as he zips across Lake Winnipesaukee on his speedboat filled with his young grandkids and pops into town for ice cream at Bailey’s Bubble or nails and plywood at Bradley’s Hardware. “He walks in here in shorts and vacation clothes, with his grandchildren like little ducks following Papa Duck,” said Christin Kaiser, who has rung him up at Bradley’s.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney watches as his grandson Miles is tossed into the lake by his son Craig, right, on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, N.H. The Romneys — 30 in all these days, with Matt Romney, standing left, and Josh Romney, seated second left — spend their time away from the stresses of everyday life — like, say, wrapping up the Republican nomination for president — by following a highly orchestrated, highly competitive regimen of sports and games known as the Romney Olympics, which have long included a mini-triathlon of biking, swimming and running that pits Mitt and his five sons and their wives against one another. But after Mitt once nearly finished last, behind a daughter-in-law who had given birth to her second child a couple of months earlier, the ultra-competitive and self-described unathletic patriarch expanded the games to give himself a better shot.
