Default Finally pic up my car...but....

my car has problem. battery is keep dying.
First I jump start it, and drove it for about 2 hours and I shut off the car. When I went back to car it didn't start again. Do you guys know what is problem with it? Is it battery problem or other? I think I should go tomorrow for car service.

Default yeh..I went to pep boys and they said It could be alternator.

But they were so busy, so they couldn't checked my car. Anyway, what is alternator? Is it easy to fix? I will go to auto part service place, but I just hope, they can check and finish with couple hours.
