16 Places to See in the Next 10 Years

We were enjoying the architecture of Cleveland's Old Arcade and stopped by the coin and stamp shop. The store had boxes of old postcards sent from around the world for pretty cheap. Chris, brilliant as ever, came up with one of the most creative, ingenious ideas ever. We selected sixteen postcards, completely at random without looking and will go to each of these over the next ten years.

#1: Montgomery, Alabama

 

#2 Virginia City, Nevada

#3: Zion National Park, Utah

#4: Boothbay Harbor, Maine

 

#5: New York, New York

 

#6:  Jacksonville, Florida

 

#7: Tabor Island, Coast of Labrador, Canada

 

#8: Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

 

#9: Tokyo, Japan

 

#10: Ouro Preto, Brazil

 

#11: Stadtpark, Schwandorf, Vienna

 

#12: Kashmir, India

 

#13: Stockholm, Sweden

And the best of all:

Nothing but years of adventure ahead. I can't wait to take a photo at each of these places.
