DH and I went to the Spy Museum in DC today. 
What a fun, fun place - and much bigger than we thought it would be. I highly recommend it to those of you visiting DC. 
Here's a tip: We tried to visit last year, but it was so crowded that we couldn't see anything. They let people in on a timed ticket, but it was just still too crowded as everyone was moving very slowly through the museum. On that visit, after realizing how crowded it was, we got a refund a left.
This time, DH bought our timed tix online. 9:30am is the first entry time. We arrived at 9:10am. Although 9:30 is the opening time, they had already started letting people in. I think we were in the 2nd group to enter. It was great. As we toured, we could see that it was really starting to get crowded in the exhibit rooms behind us. It took us about 90 minutes to see everything. So if you're visiting, I recommend buying advance tix for 9:30am and showing up at 9am. We had a great time.
