Another option you might want to consider is the Yosemite Hige Sierra Camps: http://www.yosemitepark.com/high-sierra-camp-trail-descriptions.aspx
The lottery for 2014 is already closed, but you can always apply for spots that open up due to cancellations. I think this opens up in Feb.
These are "catered" hikes, so no need to schlep tents and food. Typical 10 miles/day, and there are options on the number of days and camp sites visited. Since these are "catered" you might want to consider joing your husband (or not, depending on your preference).
These are not so much "instructional" hikes, but camping for those that like to hike, but do not like to schlep the gear, and prefer hot showers and cots vs. a dip in the lake and sleeping on the ground.
