Make sure you see Sargent's "Nonchaloir". It is simply gorgeous. Unfortunately I can't tell you where to find it because a bunch of galleries are under renovation and we just happened across it one day (about 2 months ago).
I disagree with the sentiment to see the many impressionist paintings. They are what they are and they are no different in real life. Explore something you don't know.
The NGA has had some recent photo exhibits that were pretty good. Paris in Transition was great.
I also like the modern wing and the sculpture garden.
As others said, walk up to the Protrait Gallery and Museum of American Art. We were there just a month ago and it's really nice.
Oh, shit I almost forgot: The Modernism show at the Corcoran closes soon. Go check it out (not free, maybe $12); it has some really cool stuff.
