The Constitution, obviously.
Then the Air and Space Museum.

I recommend the Spy Museum. My 10 year old daughter and I went over the summer and spent hours there. We could have stayed longer but we had plans later.

1) DO NOT go to the Whitehouse. Very boring, incredibly long lines, likely much worse during the Cherry Blossom Festival.
2) DO go to the new annex of Air and Space Museum, the Udvar-Hazy Center, which is not in DC proper, but in Virginia near Dulles Airport.

It depends on how much time you have and what the kids really like.
Consider Fort Washington in Maryland if they like exploring. There's quite a bit of that around the fort.
Very inexpensive to do as well.
You can spend days in the Smithsonian but I'd suggest breaking it up with other things.

Supreme Court, WWII Memorial, and try to go to top of Washington Monument. It is free but you have to get there early to get tickets for a later ride up.

The Holocaust Museum will haunt you for years, but it's good for young folks to have a point of reference of how badly things can get out of hand. Just don't plan much afterwards, you won't feel to well.
Of course if you're out purely for family fun, then perhaps another time.

The Jefferson Memorial is a place I always visit when in Washington. I find it inspirational and beautiful.
You're going at a great time of year. Have fun.

Contact your congressman and senators now. They can get you passes to the floor of the Capitol. Also, order tickets for The Washington Monument today. The price is worth not having to get on line at 6:30 for an afternoon tour. The Holocaust Museum is great also and your kids are at a good age.
To: IamConservative
The previously-mentioned Smithsonian is actually a bunch of museums. If I were coming here from somewhere else,and had to pick one of them- I'd take the Museum of American History.

I hope you go to the Viet Nam Veterans memorial and come back here to describe the feelings it gave you.

By all means, see the WWII Memorial, then the Vietnam Memorial and then the Korean War Memorial. All are fairly close together, and this will give you a loop. Then you can be back at the Washington Monument and close to the Smithsonians.
The Spy Museum is way cool, and so is the Navy Memorial. Go to Arlington National Cemetery and see the Honor Guard at the tombs of the Unknowns. If you have wheels, get out to Virginia and go to Mt. Vernon.
Let me know if you need any help.

Arlington Cemetery. Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Korean War Memorial. Lincoln Memorial...
Not so much Arlington, but war memorials, Washington Monument, et al are all within easy walking distance. Call your representatives and see whther they can arrange anything for you- special tours, tix, or whatever.
Btw I'm told that the most effective way to see many of these attractions is at night.
