ZBB, I would suggest an iPad and charger.

There's a decent indoor go kart track that might be an option, but check their calendar to make sure they aren't booked.

Not much to do out that way. A few shopping centers. You probably have enough time on the way back to take a cab or shuttle into DC and get back.

Yes, the Air and Space Museum is about it out there. You won't need 6 hours to see it, though--even the big museum is disappointingly small compared to something like Wright Patterson.

"Downtown" Reston is a short cab ride away and provides a decent place to get some fresh air, a bite to eat, and a walk. It's a sort of quasi-town center space/outdoor shopping mall.

Other than clyde's idea about the go-kart track, there's not much else. There's a Wegman's a short ride up 28, if you want to buy some groceries. It's right next to a Mini/BMW dealer and Ferrari/Maserati of Washington, which has in the past proved to be a convenient family outing.

There's also a racing gear store out there (O.G. Racing), but it's not worth a side trip and you can get most of their stuff on the Internet.
