>> think we are pretty set on doing Sweet Dreams...

Sweet Dreams is a good route to introduce beginning climbers to their first multipitch. Other than that, I wouldn't really recommend it- I don't find it to be a particularly good climb, and its frequently crowded with beginners. There are other multipitch climbs in the Blues that are much more enjoyable.

If you're comfortable at 5.10a, look into Whymper (5 pitch grade 18). It starts just 10m to the left of Sweet Dreams, and has some excellent slab and arete climbing. It's fully bolted- mostly carrots. Also look into Bunny Bucket Buttress (8ish pitches grade 18, fully ring-bolted) and Hotel California (10 pitches grade 21, fully ring-bolted) which are at Pierces Pass. All of these are adventurous and beautiful classics.
