If you are going to the Smithsonian, also make sure and hit the aircraft
restoration facility for the Smithsonian (on the corner of Andrew's?).  
They offer tours, but you have to call in advance.  It's about 7 hangars of 
cool stuff, mechanics, and in progress projects.  The hangars store both the
restoration work and the things that don't have room (Enola Gay when I was
went was being restored, with the engines up on motor stands for rebuilding).
