I've been there 5 times, so I would recommend to not go in July, it's hot and crowded. May and early June are the best months. But since you're already going...
1. Spend a whole day in the valley. Yosemite Falls is pretty impressive, and make sure to go to Vernal Falls as well. It'll be crowded, so expect it to be like a city park.
2. The view from Glacier Point is impressive but it's a long and windy road to get there. I think it can be skipped to spend more time in the valley.
3. The Mariposa Grove is a must see. Again, it may be crowded, but after the grove, head over to Wawona and head east on.. I think it's Chihuahua Falls road or something like that. At the end are some restrooms where you can change into swimming stuff, and by hiking down to the river you can find some peaceful quiet and maybe some deer visits.
