Don't know really what to suggest for exploring in Winter, renting a canoe on the potomac was cool in summer, as was this bike trail just over in Arlington that took you right along the river for several miles and there was stuff to do in the forest (like jumps and stuff).
Can't say I did outside stuff much in winter, other than skiing in local day-trip ski resorts (like 20 runs so 'day' trip). There used to be openair skating but can't remember the exact location which i enjoyed. Other than that in winter I spent most of it inside, watching Ice Hockey, Pubs/bars/Cinema.... Can't say I did anything exciting in winter.
Yeah I sound boring now. Your best bet is probably the Smithsonian, or a tour of the capital building was interesting. Didn't do any of the paid museums like 'Newseum' and stuff... Most the stuff I did was in summer when friends from Europe were visiting ;>
