How to re-visit Washington DC
It made me
very happy 
"It was everything I remembered and more."
How I did it: I'm in an MBA program, and as part of that, I took a class in Washington D.C. called The Washington Campus. (http://www.washcampus.com/)
I bookended the week of classes with two weekends of sightseeing and made sure to hit my favorites before I left.
Lessons & tips:
Find some reason to go that will be paid for by some other goal. Get a client there; go to a conference or class; visit relatives.
Then the only cost associated with meeting this goal is the ADDITIONAL costs of staying longer, visiting specific sites, and going to specific shows. When evaluated this way, the trip is much easier to justify.
Resources: check your senators' websites; they usually have guides that will help you and if you plan far enough in advance, they can get you tours you might not otherwise be able to get.

Last July (2006) I went on a “Family Roadtrip” with my husband, 18 month old sone, sister-in-law, mother and father-in law to Virginia Beach. We visited Washington DC for one day and I was totally taken by the city.
We only had time to visit the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and a few War Memorials. I was totally surprised at how much I loved our time spent there. The history of the city is fascinating. Even though our family has grown – we had a baby girl in November, I would love to revisit the city and really have the time to enjoy it.
