No. you don't want a CB radio. Get something that operates on FRS frequencies. A radio that is listed as "FRS/GMRS" radio will work perfect for you.

I have a few recommendations depending on how much you would like to spend. But Dayton was right you should probably stick to FRS freqs. I recommend for under $50 you get Motorola talkabout radios. or if you want to roll with the big dogs you get an ICOM F4S. either way you'll probably be happy.

ICOM F4S or Radio Shack 21-1860.
