Planning a quick getaway next week to DC for 3 days/2 nights

Plan on doing:

Holocaust Museum
Air & Space Museum
Newseum
Mint
National Archives
Lincoln Memorial
Washington Monument
Jefferson Memorial
White House

Anything else that's not worth missing? TIA
Sounds like you're not planning for a car, but just in case, you might be interested in the national zoo (for the famous pandas) or the other part of the air and space museum (near Dulles - it's a hangar full of cool planes).

I actually am driving down there but won't be using the car unless necessary. Question is how much I can fit into my time frame
Speaking of cars in DC, anyone with any good parking tips?
TIA

from Moti's grill website today: Moti's Grill is now closed for remodeling. In late August, it will emerge as Al Ha'esh, an entirely new dining experience.
