? Again I am not interested in Hearst Castle.
Driving from Yosemite to Monterey will not take all day. Google Maps reports it is 198 miles from Yosemite Valley to Monterey, with a driving time of 3h42m not including traffic delays. You'll have time for sightseeing at either end of the trip, perhaps both.
Driving Monterey to Santa Barbara is totally reasonable as a full day trip. You will have ample time for short stops along the coast.
