Williamsburg is way more than an hour from DC, more like 2.5 (without traffic).

You probably know this, but traffic on Thanksgiving Wednesday is pretty awful from Boston to NY to DC. And on that Sunday can be really bad. I would leave Saturday (or least go part way Sat night).

It really depends on what you want. Eastern Shore is lovely, but will be a bit cold that time of year. St. Michaels has some quaint places to say and good bike riding.

In the other direction, Harpers Ferry or some place into Virginia? Not a lot of National Parks in that area.

It will really not be much warmer than in Boston for Thanksgiving. We visited one year when it snowed!
