This schedule is much too ambitious. You can easily spend half a day in the
Air & Space Museum and another half day in the National Gallery; more
depending on your taste. You haven't even considered the American History
or Natural History museums. The Lincoln Memorial is at the opposite end of
the National Mall from Capitol Hill while the White House is several blocks
off of the Mall.
This trip as presented would not be fun.
