Always a good thing to do. I usually take the last day off as well to avoid awkward forced social situations and stuff like that.

The one time I violated that rule I worked for a firm I utterly couldn't stand. I got one week of accumulated vacation after a year, so I set it up so my week's vacation started exactly one year minus one week from my hire date. A week before that (two weeks before my one year hire date) I gave my two week notice, meaning I only had to work one more week and I got to claim that I'd worked there for an entire year (not as bad on the resume).
