Need help with a weekend in DC.

[yohansen5b]

So I'm surprising my girlfriend with a weekend in DC, hotel and everything.  We'll be in Saturday Aug 16 to Monday Aug 18.  I've got restaurants and a few things planned out but I'm really hurting for things to do.  It's the one weekend there isn't a show we want to see and, as it seems to me, it's the dead time for theater.
 
 Anyone have any good ideas of things to do in the city for that weekend?  I'll go halfsies with the boyfriend points I'm hoping to collect...
 
 Thanks, kiddos!

Shopping in Georgetown. Mimosas.

Art gallery.  Not smithsonian, some cutting edge something or other.

Lion King at the kennedy center.  Laugh all you want, i took my kids this weekend and it was OFF THE HOOK. Probably sold out but i'm sure you could score some reasonable tix on craigs list.
 
 Rent a canoe at thompson's boat house (Va Ave and Rock Creek Parkway) and paddle around Roosevelt Island.  Always fun.

Best thing to do in DC for a weekend is to go to New York City.

I hear there's some nice monuments to see.

I bow to your superior knowledge on that.

That's a GREAT weekend!
 
 Seriously though, you can do the monuments/museums, head up to Great Falls if you're renting a car, hike along the C&O Canal, and do a great brunch somewhere Sunday afternoon.

I'll go out on a limb here: I took my parents to DC before I lived up there, and we took the Duck Tour. They still talk about it to this day, like 4 years later. They really liked it - as did I, and I had seen a ton of DC.

Which stings? Cum in your eye?

haha, that's good!  no, we are local (vienna/falls church area) and i decided to blow off work for a day and just have a quick, easy escape.  it's no new york, of course, but i'd rather spend time with her doing something here than sitting in a car for some time.
 
 anyway -- good ideas so far! thanks, everyone!
