COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is returning to work, attending a closed briefing on port security in North Charleston.

Sanford spent the weekend in Florida, visiting with his wife and children. Jenny Sanford and their sons went to her parents’ home following Sanford’s confessions last month of an affair with a woman in Argentina.

Both Sanford and the first lady and their children returned from Florida on Sunday. The governor’s office would not comment on their living arrangements.

Sanford’s staff says he will attend the briefing with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Sen. Lindsey Graham on Project Seahawk. That’s a task force to protect the nation’s ports.

Spokesman Joel Sawyer says Sanford will not attend a meeting with reporters after the briefing.
