Jenny Sanford moves out of S.C. governor's mansion

South Carolina's first lady is moving, with her sons, to Charleston

Jenny Sanford and her four sons are leaving South Carolina's governor's mansion. They've been packing up and taking boxes out of it on Friday in preparation for a move to Charleston, S.C. -- and away from Gov. Mark Sanford -- for the school year.

"I have decided to move back to our home in Charleston with our sons for the upcoming school year," the state's first lady said in a statement. “From there, we will work to continue the process of healing our family .... While we will be leaving Columbia, we will return often, and I will remain engaged in activities in my role as First Lady, acknowledging that my responsibilities to my family come first.”
