The International Spy museum and the Holocaust museum are both amusing. I could easily spend a whole day shopping in Georgetown. Eastern Market is entertaining on the weekends, but there was a fire there recently so I'm not sure what kind of shape it's in. I actually prefer the monuments at night - the crowds aren't as bad and it's pretty.
Good places to eat:
Matchbox - in Chinatown (pizza and the best mini-burgers you'll ever eat)
Georgia Brown - Farragut North (southern food)
Ceiba - Farragut North (Latin American - on the more expensive end)
Cakelove - U Street (delicious cupcakes)
Nooshi - Dupont Circle (cheap Thai food)
Fun bars (I know you'll be with family, but they all serve food):
Local 16 - U Street (lounge with a huge rooftop deck)
Reef - Adams Morgan (3-story lounge with a rooftop deck)
Buffalo Billiards - Dupont Circle (big sports bar)
Smith Point - Georgetown (I think you can usually get in even if you're not on the list, you just may have to pay...it's been a while)
Old Ebbitt Grill - Downtown (get oysters and sit at the bar)
Uhh...I'm sure I'm leaving off a million things. More later, maybe.
