I imagine the RNC.

The Democrats are also at a retreat, I imagine paid by the DNC.

Or possibly out of the Congressional travel budget.

I wish they'd both stop secluding themselves and spend more time working together.

I like how this is a business meeting but spouses are with them.

Seems like train is the best mode of transport... I don't see anything unusual... my spouse goes to some of my business meeting trips... so?
