Joel and I love getting out and enjoying the weather when it's as gorgeous out as it has been, and last weekend (Friday in particular) the weather was simply perfect. Belleville, a little gem in the St. Louis Metro East area, holds an art show that has been voted #1 or #2 in the country for quite some time now.
While I wouldn't consider myself an art expert by any means, I do think it's fun to look around and appreciate the talents of those that were displaying their work. Belleville is a small-ish town (about 46,500 people), but they all came out in full force for Art on the Square. I wish I would have gotten more pics in, but I was just having too much fun being there!

Afterwards, we went to another Metro East Hotspot, 17th Street BBQ. It was voted best BBQ in St, Louis, Top 10 BBQ spots in the U.S., and best BBQ ribs in the country, Among many other accolades. While the BBQ is quite delish (but, sadly not my favorite), we had already eaten a little at the fair and weren't super hungry. But we ordered the real star of this place: the corn muffins. Best. Appetizer. Ever. Sweet and soft and oh so warm, these are the real reason to visit this little BBQ joint. And the honey butter...words cannot describe.
