Bayou Segnette or St. Bernard?
I'm starting to plan a March trip to New Orleans. While I hope to see a bit of historic New Orleans, my main goal is to visit the WWII museum. The state parks closest to New Orleans seem to be St. B...

Enblethen: Thanks for the info on Bayou Segnette, and I'll make sure we get reservations.
Trirboy: Great pictures! It seems likely that we'll be staying at Bayou Segnette. And I especially appreciated the pictures of the museum. I'm a history and WWII buff (DH not so much but he indulges me), and I've been excited to visit this museum since I heard about its opening. As long as we can park at the museum, I really do feel confident that DH can maneuver in the city. But the more I read about New Orleans, I think I would like to spend an extra day exploring the rest of the city. Maybe renting a car would be better. I'll need to think a bit more on that.
Wadcutter: Thanks for the information on easier access. If we park at the WWII museum, how far is the walk to the French Quarter and other historical sites? We're early risers, so I intend to be at the museum when it opens and, as Trirboy suggested, have lunch there. Then spend a few hours in the afternoon seeing the French Quarter.
Garmp1: We're typical campers who stay in state parks for the hiking, boating, observing nature in all its diversity, eating and living outdoors. BUT, I've got an insatiable curiosity about history. Historical sites are like a magnet for me.
My thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it.
