I would suggest also accepting Tidewater for the Hampton Roads question. Or rewording it to say it is a region within the Tidewater area. We're taught that there are 5 regions in VA, so this tripped me up.

Nice quiz. I would suggest allowing "Eastern Shore" as a type-in for the Delmarva question. A lot of folks here refer to it as such.
