There is a transport service called the Washington Flyer (or something like
that) that runs shuttles between Washington-National Airport, Dulles Airport,
and BWI (Baltimore-Washington Int.) Airport for a fairly low price.

So if you take the Flyer from BWI to Washington National, then you can take
the subway from Washington-National to all the major attractions in DC (the
White House, Smithsonian and other art galleries, Capitol building, Washington
monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, etc.).

BTW, the Pavillion (the Old Post Office) is a good place to get almost any
kind of food you might want for minor $.  In addition it is near almost all
the attrtactions listed above, and usually has good live music for free in
the food courtyard.
