I am going up there with some friends and one of them has never been there so where are some must see places?

The most impressive place in Washington to me is the Lincoln Memorial. A fitting tribute to our greatest President.
It's hard to go wrong by sticking to the Mall area. Call your Congressman to see about a White House or Capitol tour. The Smithsonian is filled with great stuff. The Vietnam Memorial is moving. The Jefferson Memorial is quite beautiful. Go up to the top of the Washington Monument.
And pick up a tourist book about the area. There are many more suggestions, and most are free.

I haven't seen the World War 2 Memorial in Person, but it is probably worth checking out
