family friendly hotels or lodging? easy hiking trails for kids? Must eats?
Biltmore and some easy hikes are on the list of things to do so far
are there any good towns worth staying b/t south LA and asheville to break the drive up? it looks like you pass through Atlanta...

Asheville is awesome around that time of year. You'll definitely get that crisp cool fall air. Biltmore will be transitioning quickly to Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. The Blue Ridge Parkway exit is right off the Biltmore area. There are tons of lookouts and short hikes off of the parkway.
The Grove Park Inn is a must see. It was built during the Arts and Crafts era and has two fire places in the lobby that are 10 high inside. They literally burn tree trunks in the winter. Visitors are welcome and encouraged. The large open lobby has a restaurant, bar, shopping, etc. You can spend hours just chilling there with views of the mountains. It looks like something you'd see out west.
It's hard to go wrong with restaurants. So much good food and beer in Asheville. I'd just try yelp or a quick google search. The local breweries are Highland, Greenman, Wicked Weed, Wedge, and Sierra Nevada and New Belguim have also built facilities there.
As for stops, you have to visit downtown Greenville, SC. Its only 45 minutes from Asheville and on the way. The downtown is picture perfect with great restaurants, shopping and a beautiful park with a large waterfall right in the middle of downtown.

I would strongly suggest booking a day trip for fly fishing. I can hook you up with a cool knowledgeable guy if you would like. We went during this time last year and have been wanting to go back ever since the day we left. Take the ghost tour in Asheville but get tickets in advance. It's a night tour. You are going to fall in love;the Biltmore was awesome and the Land Rover experience on the Biltmore grounds was legit
Also don't go through Atl. Go north through Gadsden Al and go right before you get to Knoxville. Very scenic,ride the blue ridge pkwy

I'm not sure if it's exactly on the way for you, but we are going to the smokies this fall and I'm going to stop and stay two nights in Chattanooga. I want the kids to see look out Mnt, Ruby Falls, and the aquarium there.
