We picked up an additional passenger.
He was begging to jump in the car with two women.
We had so much fun in Graceland we had to keep the party going all the way to Oklahoma. You can follow his (and our) shenanigans on the Instagram.
Bobble Elvis has been a huge hit so far. He was even recognized in Little Rock where we stopped to have lunch with the lovely Heather and her husband.
This WIAW is a day of eats on the road. We’re embracing the impulsive life.
Read on for my eats, and then check out Jenn’s blog for everyone else’s delicious creations!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by my morning sludge. Even on the road.
The Courtyard Marriott has a decent turkey-egg white breakfast sandwich. Except for the runny cheese… I scraped that off.
Lunch:
Unpictured banana pudding, followed by a grilled banana and peanut butter sandwich from a Graceland tourist spot. I ate some BBQ Quest chips too.
Dinner:
Vegas and I met Heather and her husband for an early dinner at Baja Grill in Little Rock. I’ve never met Heather in “real” life before, so it was really cool to connect after reading her blog for years! I love with bloggers are exactly the same in real life as they are on paper… errr… the web.
We had beers and some delicious Mexican-ish food. I ordered the “Pig Sooey” burrito bowl. BBQ pork that I had to fight Elvis for. Mmmmm…. pig.
Snacks:
Too many M&Ms and Combos. Vanilla Frosting Combos, specifically. Don’t buy them… they’re like crack. 😉

This trip is actually flying by! It’s been fun… but my butt hurts from all the sitting!
Have you ever had a banana-peanut butter sandwich? My mom used to make them for us with mayo. #strangebutgood
What are your favorite M&Ms? I love the peanut butter. Vegas likes the peanut best.
Ooh I’m with Vegas- Peanut M & Ms are the best! And hell yes to PB & Banana sandwiches…even better when they’re toast & get all ooey gooey delicious!
you have me craving a grilled PB and Banana. ah uh ah uh! ahh i’m so pumped you are almost HOME!!
You have me caving the ocean! Thinking of you two today!
I think you need to Elvis-fy your evening batter frozen concoction. Not going to lie, been jealous of your instagram feed these past few days!
Dark chocolate peanut butter M + M’s from NYC. The purple ones.
I LOVE YOU GUYS and am loving that youre bringing us along on yer trip.
xoxo
I love all things Elvis and that bobble head is just awesome. And I think I now have to make a grilled PB and banana sandwich! That’s good for breakfast, right?
Fruit is always good for breakfast! 😉
I’ve never had a peanut butter banana sandwich. I feel deprived and now I must try!
My husband and I went to Graceland on our honeymoon as part of our tour of the South – I’m not a massive Elvis fan but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip!
We only have 2 types of M&Ms in the UK, peanut and regular! #FOMO!
I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was one of my favorites too! All those gold/platinum records blew me away!
Crispy m&ms. I even went as one for Halloween.
That IS true love! 🙂
Such an adventure! My one friend has made a cross country trip 3 times, I can’t believe I’ve never done it. I have a West Coast trip planned for May though so Youll have to share you road trippin tips! Safe travels 🙂
You’re going to love it! I am a little sad it’s over now. Let me know when you go. Will you take I-40? Come to San Diego! 🙂
I have been loving all the FB pics!! Looks like you two are having a great tripe!
I think this is your best WIAW to date! How did I not know that peanut butter and banana sandwiches were a thing?! What are almond M&Ms like? I can’t imagine them being as good as peanuts, my true faves!
I thought of you the whole time I was writing this. LOL! You must try the sandwich. Bonus points if you grill it in mayo instead of butter (it makes the toast crispier!). The M&Ms are delish. I love almonds though. Come to the Staes and I’ll buy them all to do a tasting with you.
Almond M&Ms for me please! I’m loving seeing all the pics from your trek across the US. Glad you’re making the most of it. And it was so nice meeting you guys!
How fun I love meeting other bloggers! I would love to go on a roadtrip! xo C
You came through OK????? Darn it! I would have treated you to adult beverages at a favorite spot! Hope you got through without ice and snow!
Awwww… I wish I ‘d thought of it! We just missed all the bad weather – lucky we’re not further East today!
PB+Banana+Honey was a real favorite growing up. I’m with you on the peanut butter M&M’s. I cannot even buy them because I will eat that ENTIRE package. Thank goodness I can’t eat combos because that vanilla frosting flavor sounds AMAZING. Hmm think I have a sweet tooth?
Safe travels!
PB & Banana sandwiches – are so good -i replace the bread with graham crackers and its sinful! But mayo…hmmm…now am intrigued!
Safe travels Laura!
Oh and thanks for the tip on where to get that rum jam – I am heading to Fresh Market this weekend!
Let me know what you think if you find it! They had several flavors… it was a tough choice!
peanut butter m & ms all the way. and those combos.
Jason and I had an awesome time on our THREE WEEK road trip for the first half of our honeymoon… but yes, we would get antsy with all the sitting, and thankfully had planned a route that included many stops and sights during the days. sometimes I’d just have to get out of the car and run around in a field!
following along – makes me smile big to see you on such a fun adventure!
We almost did pull over and go running a few times! I would love to do it for 3 weeks though – we’ve had SO much fun. And we’ve loved all of your commentary – you’ve been the topic of more than one conversation. Meet up SOON!!!
PB and Banana is just the base camp from which to go on many wonderful (and strange but good) sandwich adventures.
Add Bacon. Or and egg. Or both. Or add fried chicken with syrup and eat it on a waffle.
I love peanut butter and mayo sandwiches but savory style. I add onion, tomato and pickles. And I use vegenaisse because it doesnt taste like real mayo.
Peanut M&Ms for REAL.
Birthday Cake are pretty righteous though.
Basically, I really wouldnt kick any M&M flavor out of bed.
Happy road tripping!
This whole thing cracked me up. And I’m from the South… you know we love our chicken and waffles! 😉
I love your photos girl. You guys look hilariously cute. And just look at those M&M’s. You know you started something right lol. I’m headed to the corner and go get me some lol.
Thanks K! Were having the time of our lives!
Yes, on the PB&B. That’s what I call it, and I used to make them all the time. It’s actually a great re-fuel meal after a tough workout. 🙂 Have fun on the trip!!!
i want a bobble-head Elvis!!! for our wedding i had or minister dress up like Elvis and present us at the reception, and all of our ceremonial music were Elvis songs. i’m NOT kidding!!! oh man i wish ya’ll could have been there. So. Much. Fun. elvis is the king. and our wedding was not all about Elvis, i just like doing really random and outrageous things for fun. we both love music and having fun so there ya go 🙂
sadly i have not had a PB and banana sandwich.. so sad! i need to have one. i grew up in a predominatly asian household and we just didn’t have sandwiches. by the time i discovered them i kinda didn’t get it. i know, so sad! i have lots of catching up to do. right now i love avocado sandwiches, or just avocado anything.
i’m all about the dark chocolate peanut M&M’s – i just found them recently and went bonkers on them. i’m still recovering lol.
love your travelin eats and posts!
Did you really?!?! I told Vegas I wanted to come back to Vegas after we got married and get fake wedding pics with Elvis. Maybe we need to revisit that idea…
What about an avocado-banana sandwich?! I am going to have to explore that…
I’ve LOVED seeing all the pictures of Elvis traveling across the country!
I am loving your IG pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jody! 🙂
I hope you bought those sunglasses. You need them in your life. Really. GREG
I’m having some serious non-buyers remorse.
Which wine festival in CA should we take him to first?! 😉
I often had a PB banana sandwich, with or without jelly, growing up.
So cool that y’all were able to have dinner with Heather & Jason!!!
It was so fun! They’re both great people!
I have never met an M&M I didn’t like. And no matter the size bag I seem to think it is a single serving. I can never decide if PB or peanut is my fav.
You mean they aren’t all meant to be a single serving? 😉
I’ll forgive the whole scrapping off the cheese bit considering it looked like plastic.
I’m glad you, Vegas and Elvis had such a great trip.
