Charging Issue

I have a 2000 9-5 lpt wagon. I charge the battery and it dies after 3-4 days of daily driving. The battery is 2 years old and checked out just fine at the battery store with ~500 CCA. It gets less enthusiastic with each start until it does not start. I measure 14.25 volts at the battery with the car idling. Yesterday I drove ~70 miles with about 7 starts and the car got me home.
I am thinking the alternator is working as I could not have driven 70 miles on just the battery considering the fuel pump, head lights, radio, HVAC and ignition.
Any thoughts?
Drive Safe,
Joe
