Nav menu items stacking

Hi there,

I am having an issue with my site with a page width between 660 and 780 pixels.

It is as if the menu items in the nav element do not have enough room to display on a single line at this page size.

I have been designing the site as per the lessons and still can't find where I have gone wrong.

Is someone able to assist me in figuring out what I have done wrong? It is almost as is the header is taking up more width across the page that it should.

Below is a copy of my responsive.css file. 

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

  /**********************************
         TWO COLUMN LAYOUT
**********************************/

  #primary {
   width: 50%;
   float: left;
  }
  #secondary {
   width: 40%;
   float: right;
  }

/**********************************
 MARGIN SPACING
  3 *  5  = 15
  100-15 = 85%
  85% / 3 = 28.333333333%
**********************************/


/**********************************
        PORTFOLIO PAGE
**********************************/

  #gallery li {
   width: 28.3333% 
  }

  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
   clear: left; 
  }

/**********************************
        ABOUT PAGE
**********************************/  

.profile-photo{
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
  }

}


@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 {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 45%;
  }

 h1 {
    font-size: 2em;
  }

 h2 {
   font-size: 0.9em;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

  header {
    border-bottom: 4px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  }

}

I have made a change to the header width that seems to have resolved this. Was this the best way of doing this?

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

nav {
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin-right: 5%;
    text-align: right;
    width: 55%;
  }

#logo {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 30%;
  }

 h1 {
    font-size: 2em;
  }

 h2 {
   font-size: 0.9em;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

  header {
    border-bottom: 4px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  }

}
