Another vote for Dinosaur NM at Vernal.
Adults are amazed and kids are in love.
Having made the trip from Orlando to the Western Parks several times I would suggest that with your timeline you pick three of four target locations and do them right. Distances between parks are greater than you might expect and if you figure five days out and five days back, that doesn't leave much time for exploring.
You don't want to end up just rushing from place to place and have nothing but driving to remember.
The mountains are overrated as a problem. Take your time; don't let any of the fools rush you; and enjoy.
