If you are willing to cross the Potomac:
Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetary, Old Town Alexandria (there are historic house tours).
Back to the District:
What's nice about all the Smithsonians is that there is no admissions charge. So if you only want to see one particular exhibit at a museum, you don't feel as if you are wasting money by skipping the rest.
I love the Botanical Gardens near the US Capitol and the Indian Museum (only a couple of years old). There is an Arboretum somewhere in Eastern DC that is quite nice as well.
Catch a Nationals game if you can.
I would also take a tour of Georgetown University. It's a beautiful campus.
