>the Air and Space Museum closes for renovations soon.<
Don't forget that there are two Air and Space Museums that are part of the Smithsonian complex: the better known one on the Mall and it's lesser known cousin near Dulles Airport, Udvar-Hazy. My family and I visited Hazy on the recommendation of a Fodorite and loved it. It's not nearly as crowded as the one on the Mall, and it has famous aircraft like an SR-71, a space shuttle, the Enola Gay, and a Concorde, to name a few.
Since you're already on the east coast, I'll second the recommendations to visit the South. Savannah and Charleston both offer history, beautiful architecture, and lots of photo ops. I particularly loved going through the old cemeteries in each city, especially the Magnolia in Charleston and the Bonaventure in Savannah. New Orleans is another great suggestion. If you like country music, you may enjoy Nashville.
