As others have said, it's punishingly hot and humid in the summer, but Washington is still awesome. Every museum on the National Mall is worth visiting - American History, Air and Space, Natural History, both buildings of the National Gallery, the other art museums... and admission to nearly all of them (being components of the Smithsonian Institution) is FREE. And if it's not too uncomfortable outside, the memorials - Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR, Korean war, Vietnam, WWII, etc. - are all inspiring and memorable. Just walking around, there are fascinating buildings and statues everywhere. Union Station is an Art Nouveu beauty, the Capitol, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court buildings are so impressive...
And it wasn't open yet the last time I was there, but I'll bet the Spy Museum is fascinating.
I've been on multi-day visits to Washington four times, and didn't come close to seeing everything!
