Im stumped

Ok guys, this has me completely stumped on my 94 3.4. I came back from vacation ( car sat for 4 days) and the battery was dead. Nothing had been on in the car and I dont have any stereo junk other than the stock CD player. So I had the battery tested and it was good. Then I took the alternator off and had it tested and it was "bad". So I paid $100 for a new one from Autozone. Take it home, put it on the car, problem solved. That was a week ago. This morning I moved the car out of our garage. I didnt drive it anywhere, just pulled it out into the driveway. Went outside a little while later to go to work, and the battery is dead. Again nothing was on. And also both times the battery drained, the keys were out of the ignition. What do you guys think the problem is? Thanks in advance for your help.

You might have a parasitic drain being imposed by one of the accessories.
