Wednesday and Thursday are best for me. Thursday is a little better than Wednesday, because I just found out I have to plan a department cupcake party Wednesday afternoon, so I can't take a long lunch Wednesday. Just a regular one. (Apparently it's paralegal week, so we'll have cupcakes to celebrate.)
If you find yourself with a little free time and happen to be in the vicinity, two places that most people don't visit and that I highly recommend are the tower of the Old Post Office building (you have to go through airport style security to go up the tower because it would be a perfect spot for a sniper.) The entrance to the tower is down in the food court open area and you take a glass elevator halfway up and there are some stairs too. Very cool views. And with the Washington Monument closed, it's the only game in town.
And the other thing is the National Building Museum. It's a very cool old building with a rich history. The building itself is free, but if you want to see pretty boring exhibits you have to pay an arm and a leg. The whole point of going is to check out the building. Wander all around it on all levels and make sure to check out the men's room by the cafe. One of my favorite places in DC. (Not the men's room, but the whole building.)
