It's a straight shot down I-55. Figure a short day's drive (6 - 7 hours, depending on stops. You can save a bit of time by taking the beltway around Jackson, Mississippi.
There's a lot on the way, particularly along I-55. The Mississippi stretch is pretty much just cut straight through the forest. Just north of New Orleans you cross through the swamp on an endless bridge that is really beautiful, though.
If you want to take a little more time and head off the interstate, there are a lot of attractions relatively close. You might see the battlefield and cemetery at Vicksburg (about half an hour west of Jackson), the antebellum homes at Natchez (an hour west of the interstate in southwest Mississippi), the Natchez Trace Parkway (a beatufiful and historic route through the woods from Jackson down to Natchez), the home of John James Audubon in St. Francisville, Louisiana, and the plantation country along the Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. There are also some interesting museums in Jackson.
