We live in a small town in West Virginia and our little newspaper did a little story on us concerning our love for things Disney.

A week later the Charleston Daily Mail--the paper in our capitol city called. They drove 75 miles with a photographer and reporter to our house. They put pictures of us on the FRONT page and did a big story on us.We were shocked. The internet site had 5 pictures on it with the story.

My teenage daughter was googling her own name for fun and found out that the wire service--Associated Press--had picked up the story. We had no idea. We found the story on travel sites, in the U.K. in papers, AOL Top News stories and some Disney sites.

Kinda Cool.
