Newport News Airport is only about 10 miles tops from the Yorktown start point. If you fly into Newport News....here is a map of a great route which is about as safe as can be.

Okay, it has been decided. Flying into Newport News and staying for the night. We'll then ride out to Yorktown early in the A.M. I'd love to start at the actual ocean, but I think I want to keep things simple at the start of the ride. We'll spend some extra time out on the west coast.
Thanks for the map from Newport News! We'll follow your route!
Also, a big thank you to everyone else for debating these questions for me. As always, much valuable insight was gained.
