Jeff & Crystal

Jeff and Crystal of Our Changing Lives Blog, are Baby Boomers who love to explore this amazing world around us. Being based in Kansas City, many of their visits are focused in the center of the U.S, although they also like to take the occasional longer journey. While jetting away to various exotic locales can be intriguing, they still prefer to travel by automobile when possible. This allows them to investigate all the nooks and crannies, and root out those hidden gems.

While they love to read about backpacking through Thailand or cliff diving in Mexico, sometimes they just want to know about things closer at hand. Perhaps you are looking for a great weekend day-trip, a nearby museum or just a place to catch a bite to eat. That's the kind of things they'll be focusing on.  Jeff and Crystal will share with you their insider experiences, honest opinions and easy to use reference for your own travel plans.

We had seen a lot of social media buzz about a new coffee shop in the Strawberry Hill district. As we exited I-70 onto Central Avenue, we could already see the cars lining the street in front of Splitlog Coffee. ​…

A Taste of the Melting Pot

Kansas City, Kansas has the distinction of being known as "The Melting Pot of the Midwest". My wife and I traveled to the far eastern edge to learn the history of the Strawberry Hill area.
