Three Rivers Rest Area: Westbound I-80 Illinois

 The westbound resarea is similar to east bound but they are separated by a few miles.  It has a playground, picnic areas, flowers and a memorial to Columbus.  I could not identify the three rivers but two may be Fox River and Illinois River.    Eastbound

welcome to Bellevue: Restaurant Review: Don and Millie's

Image
 Don and Millies is a local fast food restaurant.  I noticed something for sale called a Frenchee.  I did not get one, but I did get the loaded potato soup advertised.  The soup was the high light for me.  I also had a hamburger, onion rings and a shake.  The shake was good, the hamburger just so-so and the onion rings fine.  I wish I had tried a Frenchee.  I looked them up online afterward and discovered it is a breaded, deep fried cheese sandwich.  That sounds good. Don and Millie's is a bit pricey.  They are located on Cornhusker almost at the corner with 25th. I returned to Don Millies and got Tony a hamburger meal.  I had the Frenchee.  I was very impressed.  I like the crunchy outside and the gooey cheese inside.  Sheri tried it and was not impressed.  Tony would not try it.
