Photo: Twihards Mitt And Ann Romney Can Finally Watch 'Breaking Dawn 2' In Peace
What is Mitt Romney doing now that he's finally off the campaign trail? Like the rest of America, he's seeing "Breaking Dawn 2," duh.Last night, Mitt and Ann Romney were spotted at a movie theater in Del Mar, California— near their La Jolla beach home we're guessing. They managed to go out without a bodyguard or anything, though they weren't able to escape the watchful eye of a TMZ photog. Afterward the Romneys went out for pizza, and everyone said Romney was totally cool and posed for pictures with people.
Romney has copped to loving the Twilight series before. He picked up the books on a recommendation from his granddaughter, and he told the TODAY show: "I thought it was fun."
There's a Mormon connection there, too. The author of the book series Stephenie Meyer is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and some have noted that LDS imagery and influence runs deep in the series. (The series' heroine Bella avoids coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco.)
