The National Gallery
All of Arlington Cemetary -- not just the Tomb of the Unknown, but the Kennedy gravesites, the Rbt. E Lee home...
Go into Maryland for crabs.
Go into Virginia for the Shenandoah Valley, the Civil War battle sites, the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Adams Morgan has good restaurants. Can't vouch for the dim sum in Chinatown, though -- I don't recall the food in Chinatown being very good, tooki! Outside DC, though, theres areas of decent Chinese food.
There's the Mall and all the Memorials, too. Jefferson, on the Tidal Basin. The WWII,new. The great Roosevelt memorial. And the Vietnam memorial, of course.
You might be able to catch some good music out at Wolf Trap. I'd recommend that you get the local paper for the events, maybe even a travel guide like the Lonely Planet or what not.
You used to be able to get a haircut in the Senate barbershop! Senators and staffers got priority of course... I'd be surprised if that was still open to the public at all, though.
have a good trip.
