Nav bar will not align with logo

On 660px and above, the nav bar will not align with the logo. It stacks underneath name and 'Designer'. I have no idea what I did wrong.

Here's my responsive.css

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {


  /********************************
  HEADER
  *********************************/

  nav {
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin-right: 5%;
    text-align: right;
    width: 45%
  }

  #logo {
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 45%;
  }

  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }

  h2 {
    font-size: .825em;
    margin-bottom: 20px
  }

  header {
    border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  }

}

Hi, I noticed a few things missing in your code. First, I think you're missing a semi-colon after width: 45% in your nav rule and after margin-bottom: 20px in your h2 rule. However, think CSS will be forgiving of that, so you won't see any visual changes in your browser. I also noticed that you are missing float: left; in you #logo rule. That causes your nav to shift down, increasing the overall size of your header. Does that help?

Thanks Antonio! That fixed the alignment problem, but pushed the nav to the top. Put some padding and now it looks great!
