Having lived in Virginia for almost a decade and as a regular visitor to Williamsburg I can strongly advise you to do 81 to 64.  Depending on the time of day there will be some snags around Richmond but that is the fastest way.  Do not do 95, I have done that and it is a nightmare unless done at night.

One of the things I enjoyed most about Williamsburg was the hiking/biking directly in the town.  I think there is a bike trail up route 5 all the way from Williamsburg to Richmond.  Speaking of route five, that is an awesome route to take in - or out - of Williamsburg.  Very quaint.  Tree lined roads.  Several plantations along the way with tours, those may be of interest to your family.  Some are most certainly better than others but you'll have to consult TripAdvisor for that information, it has been too long for me.

At one time I looked at charter fishing tours, they were pricey for a full day but if you get a whole family on the water for that same price then it might be a great deal.  Can't recommend one in particular.

Opus 9 Steakhouse is great but pricey eats.  The Blue Talon near the college has a great breakfast and is pretty affordable.  Five forks is a diner with great food, also affordable -- definitely a great lunch/breakfast spot but arrive early to beat the trendy crowd from the college.  Typically a mixed crowd of locals and students.  Dog Street Pub was fine.  Do NOT do the Chickahominy House, their food is crap.
