Space between navigation menu and submenu

Sounds like there’s a css issue? Can you provide a link to your site so we can check the code?

Oops, thought I had that on there.

Nice child theme. I like it.

If you look at this section in your css:

#access ul ul {
	-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
	display: none;
	float: left;
	margin: 0;
	position: absolute;
	top: 3.333em;
	left: 0;
	width: 188px;
	z-index: 99999;
}

top: 3.333em; — this positions the subnav. Just reduce that to 2.333em or whatever you think works best.

Nailed it! Thanks very much Christine!

No problem. Glad I could help.
