Evening is a good time for The Wall. Particularly if there is a fog or light drizzle.And then walk across the Mall to the much newer, less well known and less visited Korean War monument. Then back down the Mall to the Lincoln. The night-time perspective on all three is worth the loss of some sleep.

BTW, my preferred lens set would be much as others have described:
a. 16-45
b. 12-24
c. 100mm macro
d. 21mm

The 21 is obviously doubly redundant with the two zooms, but if I got tired of schlepping a bunch of stuff around, I could be happy inside the Smithsonian museums and outside in D.C. with just the 21mm.

And also BTW, don't miss the American Indian Museum. And at least the exterior sculpture garden by the Hirschorn (sp?).

And that begs to be shot close with a wide angle using the reflections (take a microfiber cloth just in case) ... I haven't been to DC to see the real wall, but I've seen the "traveling wall", which is about 1:2 scale, I think.
