Urban feel, lots of great murals. Great in the morning when it isn't crowded.
D.C. Alley Museum
Lots of quirky characters and lots of trees; the bottom half of the park is currently under construction

Peirce Mill (Rock Creek Park)
Great sunsets, love the waterviews and sculptures
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
There's also a great park with a playground across the street.

Old Town Alexandria
Wonderful river views and bridge views
Jones Point Park
Wonderful gardens; a few nice trails and gazebos
Green Spring Gardens
Suburban wetlands; lots of great trails (can get buggy);
