Dr. Watts' family love to play in their extensive perennial and shade gardens, which have been featured on the Newburyport garden tour in previous years. When they are not playing in the dirt, they can be found rooting for the Redsox and Patriots. Visiting the New Hampshire White Mountains and Sanibel Island looking for sea-shells are some of their favorites. No Christmas holiday would be complete however, without....not one....not two.....but three fully decorated Christmas trees
