Well done, one of your best for me.

Considering "Main goal is family vacation and home photographs" and you are shooting DX and you have a 18-200/3.5-5.6.
I would sell the 70-200 on eBay or this site.
I would buy a wide angle Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 This will give you a much better overall range. (DX=16mm-300mm) I would also sell the 50mm f1.8 and get a 35mm f1.8, that would give you a 50mm field of view on DX and a fast walk around lens.

Using the second card for overflow but "thinning out images in camera" may I suggest in the d800 go to settings and reverse the playback order. This way when you press play then delete you go backwards. Hard to explain but try this setting and you will see.
Playback Menu- After Delete- You choose "to see the previous image after you delete one".

Easy IMO, just mount the 11-16 and carry the 18-55. Look for wide angle views with foreground subjects. The Tokina will give you a lot of DOF even at f5.6 so make good use of it. My thoughts are based on the vies I saw here. https://www.google.com/search?q=Chihuly+Garden+and+Glass&newwindow=1&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-ContextMenu&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiqtOPo2tHQAhWLgFQKHdOvA_UQ_AUICCgB&biw=913&bih=464

My kind of photos, very nice!

I would use the second card for overflow instead and reformat cards instead of deleting. Otherwise to answer your question, I don't think you can.

Great advice.

My slide show, Enjoy.

Right, I would not bracket Raw except for HDR but instead I would:
• Shoot both Raw + Jpeg,
• Copy all to backup drive. (I use two drives.)
• Make a 2nd copy in folder on my desktop.
• Reformat the card.
• In the desktop folder, separate Jpeg and Raw into two folders inside one folder.
• Now work on the jepgs- Delete the bad shots, then fix lighting, crop, etc. all the good ones that need it.
• When the exposure is way off, you need lens correction or want a single image HDR, I open up the raw version, apply and save as jpeg.
• When done delete the 2nd copy folder of Raw. Copy the jepg folder to your hard drives.



PS. if you did not bracket for HDR but wish you did you can always at least do this. http://www.lightstalking.com/create-hdr-image-single-raw-file-photoshop/
