Gary,
Plan Bs can be better than you your Plan A by a large margin.
Another thought, if you are look for fun trip with your girl and its a process hike. Cross NAP head for Lower Soldier Lake camp there...there is great hidden campsite just before the lake away from crowds. The following day hike to the end of the lake climb and cross a low rise head north toward the Miter and Sky Blue Lake. This is an absolutely gorgeous trip.
We did this crossing Cottonwood Pass in late June in a dry year. My preferred crossing point is Army Pass.
There are so many great easy to moderately easy trips in the Sierra.
