Many friends and I have enjoyed visiting the International Spy Museum (Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro Station). Admission is $13 and it should take from two to three hours to walk through all the exhibits.
If you enjoy performing arts, I suggest that you try to attend a performance at the Kennedy Ctr for the Performing Arts (free shuttle from Foggy Bottom/GWU Metro Station every 15min). The Washington Opera, Lyon Opera Ballet and Nat'l Symphony Orchestra have performances from Maundy Thursday through Holy Saturday.
I also hear that dining on board a ship on the Potomac is very pleasant.
If you tell me more about your interests, I'll try to give more specific suggestions.
Best,

I have son eleven years old. Since just he and me, According to Frommer Washington DC. I plan to take him to Smith Craft Show.
kennedy-center at that time seems does not have any good show for the kids.

Day one:
Washington Monument,Supreme Court
Evening to Lincoln Memorial
Day two:
Smithsonian Information Center(Caslte)
Spy Museum
National Air and Space Museum
Day threee:
?National Museum of Natural History
?Art and Industries Building
How is the show in the Folger Shakespears Libray ? some time the book recommendation maybe not good.
I will be DC for Friday. Last year we went to Capital Hill, Arlington National Cemetery. National Air and Space Museum.
Vietnam Verteran Memorial.
Thanks.

I do not think artica-missa, or whatever is for children. I saw the press preview. I do not think an 11 year old would be interested in the timperlane exihibit.
The smithsonian craft show is usually at the building museum. I think that would be a good place.

How about National Geographic Explorer's Hall (http://www.nationalgeographic.org/explorer/)? They have an exhibition up on the Mars Rovers through April 25.
You can hit that after the Spy Museum. It's walkable, and a slight ramble could take you past a few places - National Portrait Gallery (closed for rennovation, though), MCI Center for a stop at the Discovery Channel store, the Chinatown arch, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts come to mind.
