I'm sure others will have varying opinions on what to do while you are in town, but I thought I'd share a few ideas. My wife's brother is visiting this summer with his boys (first time to DC) so we are jam packing 2 days with them. We are being as "touristy" as possible. The difference with them is that they are staying in Crystal City:

Sunday
- George Washington Masonic Temple ($8) (opens 9:00)
- Brunch in Old Town Alexandria
- Water Taxi to Georgetown ($)
- Pictures in front of White House
- Ford's Theater
- Paid Museum Downtown? ($): Crime Museum (closes 7:00) / Spy Museum (7:00) / Newseum (5:00)
- Dairy Godmother for Dessert

Monday
- Arlington National Cemetery / Tomb of the Unknowns (opens 8:00)
- Lincoln Memorial
- Tidal Basin: Vietnam, Korean, MLK, FDR, Jefferson Memorials
- Washington Monument 12:00
- WWII Memorial
- Museum of American History (closes 5:30)
- Museum of Natural History (closes 7:30)
- National Archives (closes 5:30)
- Air & Space Museum (closes 7:30)
