Can't add anything but to confirm the DelMem Bridge to DE Route 1 suggestion - take 13 South from the bridge a couple of miles and then either DE 273 at Hare's Corner or down a bit to US 40 west to get over to DE 1. Take it to Milford, follow signs to US 113 and then stay there all the way to Pokomoke City where you hook back up with 13. Then you have all those rustic little burgs along the DelMarVa like Onley, Painter, Melfa, etc etc. Done it a million times.
The CBBT is, as noted, not a big deal at all unless very windy. It can be a little hectic around Va Beach/Norfolk then for a while until you get out of town in whatever direction your going.
