Do not take the interstate into Tennessee. Cross the mountains on either US441 or US129.
441 will take you through Cherokee NC, over the mountains through the Natl Park, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge (the greatest collection of kitsch and tackiness on earth). This is an exceedingly scenic drive, especially with everything in bloom!
Now, if you are a driving enthusiast, you might consider crossing south of the park on US129, the Tail of the Dragon (http://www.tailofthedragon.com/). Sadly, we've had bad weather so the road won't be safe for spirited driving - and it crawls with cops on the weekend. So 441 is probably a better choice.
