Will be in DC all day Saturday and half day Sunday. Since I won't have time to see and do everything, what are some must do things?

Grab a burger at Clyde's in Georgetown for lunch.

I'll assume you've never been and say walk through the National Mall to see all the usual monuments and buildings and also go to the Arlington Cemetery.

The Anacostia neighborhood is beautiful this time of year.

I bet Iona will have some good ideas for ya.

Can't do any Smithsonian's because they take almost an entire day each. Just go hit the monuments and shite. Arlington Cemetery is cool too.

We spent pretty much our entire time in Georgetown this past Christmas break and Georgetown has some insanely good food. Try Unum. Try the short rib cheese fries as a side. Will be enough for the entire table.

Honestly, since you only have two days, it really depends on your interests. I would hit the museums you think you'll enjoy. And if you have kids or a wife with you, hit up the zoo.

Not saying your wrong, but it doesn't really have to take a day at each. I'm pretty thorough when it comes to museums and I feel like I did 3/4 in a day last time I did that. There's some like the National Archives and stuff that can be done in 30 minutes or so. That had a copy of the Magna Carta and Jefferson's library plus some other

Go to the White House and tell BHO he's fricking up.

I'm headed to DC next weekend for a little Saturday-Tuesday trip. I've never been before. We are staying in Arlington at the Residence Inn Capital View, looks really nice. Planning on going to the cemetery, National Mall, Holocaust Museum, Lincoln Memorial, Capitol, and Smithsonian. Anyone have any other recommendations? I am a big tripadvisor user so plan on hitting up their top items.

What are you interested in? Food? Museums? Bars?

This. I recommend the Tomb of the Unknowns and the National Cathedral, but there's certainly nothing wrong with Smithsonian.
The Library of Congress and Supreme Court tours are pretty good.
Skip Clyde's and go to Ray's Hellburger.

Given your short amount of time, I'd do the following in this exact order:
Saturday:
Changing of the guard ceremony at Arlington.
Sit at the Lincoln Memorial for 30 minutes and just take in the amount of people and diversity that passes thru there. Hit the Vietnam Memorial on your way out.
See Old Glory at the American History museum or the Declaration of Independence at the National Archives.
Go to the walk-up line at the Capital and take a tour.
Catch a show at the DC Improv that night.
Sunday:
Go to Mass at a cathedral of your choice. Rent a bike and cover some ground. Sight see and just take it all in.
You don't have a lot of time - you need to stick and move.
Saturday:
Changing of the guard ceremony at Arlington.
Sit at the Lincoln Memorial for 30 minutes and just take in the amount of people and diversity that passes thru there. Hit the Vietnam Memorial on your way out.

In DC I am a big fan of the Old Town Trolley routes. Get on early in the A.M. ride all day getting on and off at will, see almost every area of DC/Georgetown at your pace. They run about every 20 minutes and you will see a ton of sights. Be sure after grabbing a bite for dinner to do the Monuments at Night tour. They are spectacular at night, a complete different perspective.
