Well the day that we have been celebrating & anticipating all week, finally arrived today! The big 5 year anniversary for the restaurant! It's truly hard to fathom. I assume I may experience this again someday when I have children or something of the sentimental sort... but it really is amazing how fast time has flown. It is no longer "We've been around for a few years." It is 5 years. A significant amount of time. This week has been a week of celebration. We have run 'throwback' specials that date back to when we first ran them in 2006. We have brought in anniversary ales & wines to highlight the occasion. It has been a fun week!
So one of the things that really comes to mind upon reflecting on all of these years is.... the way the Cerulean crew can party. : ) We don't need much of an excuse- every day is a special occasion of some sort when you work with 40 other people! There is always a birthday or holiday or announcement or graduation or something that calls for celebration. We truly have become a family here & I am SO GRATEFUL that we can be stressed out together & celebrate together, all in the same night! A few highlights, if you will...

...and the list could go on & on. There is never a dull moment in the Cerulean life whether you are on the clock or off! So, today, in honor of our 5 year anniversary (& somewhat symbolic of moving forward) we invited Flat 12 Bierworks from Indianapolis to help celebrate with us! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate fully, but like I mentioned before- "Cerulean people" don't have a hard time having a good time! Cheers, Cerulean people- you have made the past 5 years beyond memorable!
