    About this audiobook

    More than a laugh-out-loud travel memoir, Dear Bob and Sue: Season 2 will bring to life the joy of discovery, the pure satisfaction of accomplishment, and the humor that comes with experiencing new places and activities. Season 2 is the follow-up to Dear Bob and Sue, a charming and sometimes irreverent chronicle of a middle-aged couple as they visit each of the country's fifty-nine national parks, testing their mettle and stretching their endurance.

    In their second book of the series, follow Matt and Karen as they work their way around the western United States discovering some of our most beautiful public lands, hidden gems, and revisiting a few of their favorite national parks. This book is not a hiker's guide, though you will feel as if you are right there with them on some of the most amazing trails the country has to offer. Through a series of emails written to their friends, Bob and Sue, the couple brings the listener along on their adventures, sharing their experiences as they hike the lesser known parks and national monuments. By the end of the book, you'll be itching to drag out your hiking boots, dust off your tent, and discover the culinary joy of eating freeze-dried meals next to a campfire.

    If you are looking for a fun and easy listen that takes you to new and exciting places, the Dear Bob and Sue series is for you.

      Learning of nature through their eyes while laughing along the way!
    • 2/5
      First of all, the Smoky Mountains are gorgeous and smoke rises from the dense forest that will take your breath away! Aldo, they were there when the fireflies swarm in June. This was not mentioned. Mammoth Cave is awesome and the drop in temperature as you descend was not mentioned either. Nor any of the wonderful stories and history that makes the cave more than a huge cavernous hole in the ground. Key West is the most beautiful place on earth. Eccentric, funky, perfumed and a paradise. I was offended they made fun of the tourists and made no mention of Hemingway who is synonymous with Key West!!I struggled reading this book and found my mind wandering quite a bit. I can't put my finger on it. I love this genre of writing. But usually there is something worthwhile in the journey. I suppose the premise, e-mails written to friends with the sign off "your friend" does not invite thoughtful analysis and reflection of the narrative. I sign off to my friends, Stay Frosty or Dazed and Confused.I suppose these are blog posts and meant to entertain in a frivolous and entertaining manner. Any examination of personal growth or better awareness of your life partner were not factored in. Though I am certain that spending a year together 24/7 made for many opportunities to grow as a couple.Maybe that's the next book.This is akin to speed dating.

      I enjoyed reading this book, it makes me want to get out there and see what I can before I'm too old to do it. While this is definitely no replacement for a good travel guide to the National Parks, it was a good read about this couples goal of seeing all of the Parks while they took a hiatus from their jobs. Their trips were often rushed, but actually well researched to get the the best of each park in their limits of time. Full of good ideas, humor, and appreciation for what there is.

      Matt and Karen set off to visit all of the national parks, and this wonderful book is the result. I laughed out loud in many places! I also read the book with my laptop in front of me - I looked up every park and got to "see" what the Smiths saw and experienced, as best I could. I also learned about many parks that I didn't know about, so it was a very educational read also. I thoroughly enjoyed my own virtual journey around America.

      Delightful and clever way to tell a story.
