As you know if you’ve ever met The Button Law Firm team, it’s a group of hard-working rockstars. It’s important to balance that hard work with play. This summer, Dallas Daycare 
Injury Attorney Ashley Washington did just that. She and her husband met up with their good friends and road-tripped to Seaside, Florida to celebrate their friends’ 10-year wedding anniversary.
Of course, even on vacation, this Daycare Injury Attorney is always looking for opportunities to learn, and she found plenty on this trip. Ashley and her friends wound up at a local shop where she discovered a book of essays about Seaside called “Views of Seaside: Commentaries and Observations on a City of Ideas.”
“My best friend, Elizabeth, saw how much I LOVED this book and snuck around to buy me a copy as a surprise gift while I sat there in a trance flipping through it. I spent the whole five-hour drive from Seaside to Baton Rouge reading it,” Ashley says. “I always knew Seaside was special, but I never knew the story of HOW the city was thought up and all the intention behind the creation of this amazing little town.”
Here are just a few of the fun facts Ashley learned.
