I went to a youth Congress in DC when I was a high school senior and we hit most of the places you just mentioned. I'd say the Air and Space museum ranks in the must see category for any DC visitor. Anyways, it was the typical 95 degree drought type of summer, and it was funny to see how the kids from different states and countries reacted to the heat. Most of us thought it was quite dreadful. The guys from the northwest could not believe the humidity. This girl from Texas though: for a bus trip to Georgetown or something while we are all wearing collared t-shirts and shorts, she decides it is cool enough to break out the denim jacket. I haven't been to Texas in the summer, but I can only imagine...
