Planning a weekend camping trip to Yellowstone. Where to start?

It would probably just be a couple of days in the park since we can't afford to miss work, so we'd just want the highlights (just me and my husband, and neither of us have ever been). At which site should we camp, what are the must-see places, best hikes, etc?
 
Based on the 4 times I've been to Yellowstone, I'd recommend:

Old Faithful
Old Faithful Lodge (it's a gorgeous building)
Fountain Paint Pots
Yellowstone Lake
Norris Geyser Basin (some nice hikes in there)
Mammoth Hot Springs (some of the first Star Trek movie was filmed here)
Yellowstone Falls

I've camped in the Mammoth Hot Springs campground. I would recommend getting a reservation.
