You have kids with you? If not, I would head out early to see Sequoias and drive up to Yosemite by mid afternoon. Its about 2-3 hours depend how much traffic you encounter going into the park. We did this without kids a few years back. If you get a chance, do ride the narrow gauge logging train at Sugar Pine railroad. its a pretty cool taste of our history in the area. the biggest issue is a place to stay. If you have it, then its not an issue going into the park late. If not, I stay in Fresno or Cloves.
You will love Tahoe. Same mountain range but different beauty.
One thing about arriving at night or late afternoon, YOu don't get to see how majestic the rocks or the mountains really are. Get ready to have EL Captain hit you across the face once you exit the tunnel. IMO, the valley is a must if you have never been. The little museum is pretty cool. Bring cloth because it is cold up there.
I ahve been going up there since I was a kid, and we take our little ones up there all the time now. We never get tire of the Sierras.
