On the DC stuff- there are a bunch of Smithsonian Museums- the Air and Space one is probably the one you are thinking of, but also on the Mall are the Smithsonian American History (must see) and Smithsonian Natural History museum. And if you guys have transport out to Dulles (I think there's a bus, too), the Udvar-Hazy branch of the Air and Space Museum is AWESOME! Three huge hangers full of any plane you can imagine, plus a Space shuttle! It's HUGE!
The International Spy Museum is cool and I also love the National Zoo and the National Cathedral (which are actually somewhere near each other). If you go to the Zoo, go in the early morning when it's somewhat cool- less tourists and also the animals move around more since it's not crazy hot yet.
Hope you have a great time! And you'll never be able to take it all in, (I've been here four years and still haven't seen it all), so just enjoy what you do get to.
