Take an extra week vacation if you can manage, even if it means taking the kids out ot school early. Travel will be a zoo and if you don't leave early/come back a little later than the millions of others traveling the week of, you are liable to miss a flight or two, which I can only imagine would be a truly miserable experience with 2 kids.
From your options. Delete Palm Springs, full stop. Ask your kids where they'd like to go, if you want something relaxing and low maintenance check to see if there's any cruises your family would be interested in. An absolute ton of stuff to do within reach on the ship + excurscions, they're at a pretty good age for that imo. If you're interested in something a little more exploratory you can see a lot of south america on the cheap (granted there are safety and vaccination considerations) but it'd depend on your kids patience levels and interest in exploring the world at this time
