I surprised Byron and took him back to BARBADOS!  
Byron served his mission for our church in the West Indies. He spent 11 months on the island of Barbados.  He has been wanting to go there since we were married and between work and children it has just not been possible.  I was quite a sneak and got our passports, hotel, flights, babysitters, work covered etc... for us to be gone for 1 week!  We had the best time together and are so thankful to our amazing friends and family that helped and made this trip possible!  We spent every day going around the island and exploring the different areas and beaches and our favorite plantation houses that we might go back one day to buy and restore.  What a wonderful place with great people.

sister Burke-Byron spent a lot of time helping this incredible woman while on his mission.
