There are lots of great sites in the DC area. I try to always find time to visit the Botanic Garden when we are in DC. Although the attractions don't change much from year to year, I find this to be a wonderful place to appreciate the variety and spectacle offered by Nature. This "museum of plants" offers some interesting glimpses into a diverse array of environments, from rain forest to dessert, from tropical island to Mediterranean hillside. It's a neat place to swing through; and if you do, make sure you go up into the rain forest canopy!
