From a lifelong Washingtonian, things to gaze at:

1. Sun setting behind the Capitol, viewed from the Mall

2. Ceilings of the Library of Congress

3. Thomas Jefferson’s words inside the Jefferson Memorial

4. View from the left side of your plane, landing at National Airport (ahem, never Reagan Airport), coming in down the river

While you are here, take the subway to historic Eastern Market on Capitol Hill, recently gutted in a fire. Patronize the outside merchants–from veggies to flowers to jewelry to photographs, and more. They need your support while the Market is being restored.
