Kid Friendly Activities in the DC Area

People always ask me for DC activity suggestions when they have friends/family coming to visit with kids.  Half the time I blank and mumble something about the zoo.  When a friend asked me this a few weeks ago, I decided to finally write down an entire list including restaurant options.  This way, it's easy to plan an afternoon with a dinner option close by!
