Ah, I missed this! Yes, that sounds like a lovely plan. High country is closed, so yes, go to Yosemite Valley, look around, hike, it's all good. Bring warm clothes.
D likes to cross-country ski at Glacier Point, but that is certainly something to be done AFTER exhausting the Valley.
If you go at the right time in February, you can also gawk at a human event: the Gathering of the Photographers for the annual Horsetail Falls pictures. We went once (alas, the sun and therefore the Falls pictures did not appear), and I have never seen so much expensive photographic equipment in one place.
