Columbia, SC -
A spokesman says South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford will head to Florida to spend the holiday weekend with his family.
Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said the governor will leave Friday morning. He did not say where the governor will stay or how long he will be out of town. Sanford's in-laws live in Florida.
Sawyer says Sanford is concentrating on repairing the damage he has done to his marriage and building back the trust of the people of South Carolina.
In a statement, Sanford also reiterated that he will not resign or leave the governor's office temporarily.
In an interview with The Associated Press this week, Sanford said a woman he visited last month in Argentina is his soul mate, but he is trying to fall back in love with his wife.
