You should be fine, because you returned to work after your vacation, if only for one day. So they cannot claim that instead of being on vacation as planned you had actually already abandoned your job.
This puts you in a much stronger legal position than if you took the vacation and then called in and quit on the last day with no notice, just because you gave notice, even if they choose not to accept it and they tell you to leave now. They would not have to pay you for the offered notice period (actually you could get unemployment comp for those two weeks), but they would have to pay you for the vacation.
