SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Governor Brad Henry and his family are in San Diego Thursday to cheer on the Sooners in the Holiday Bowl.

Henry and his family arrived in San Diego on Tuesday night. Oklahoma faces Number 6 Oregon in the Holiday Bowl tonight.

Henry's communication director, Paul Sund, says that after the game the family will take a few days off before returning to the state. The Henrys will spend time in San Diego and Mexico before returning next week.

The Henrys are part of Oklahoma's bowl delegation and their trip to San Diego is being paid with state funds. Sund says the rest of the trip will be paid with private money because it is a personal vacation.
