Hi with such a short trip you need to plan in detail. First of for this length of trip we be inclined to not do Lake Tahoe , even though we really enjoyed it last year. Some suggestion !
You will be very tired on arrival so suggest quick look around San Fran on arrival night. Next day do main sights and Alcatraz at night. Next day cycle to bridge and over to sausilito and get ferry back.
Then onto Monterey 1.5 hour drive, would suggest a 2 night stop. On arrival do 17 mile drive , aquarium and evening at Carmel. Please if you can then do whale watching the next morning relax around Monterey that evening.
Then a days driving and sightseeing down he coast to Santa Barbara , this will take all day. Make sure to stop and see elephant seals at San Simeon. Take a day to relax around Santa Barbara.
After this take your drive over to sequoia 1/2 nights followed by drive up to yosemite 2/3 nights.
This still leaves some time to pan things out a little but we believe to add Lake Tahoe would make everything a little rushed and not let You relax and simply enjoy where you are.
Hope this gives you some help.
