How to fix the alignment of the navigation items?

I'm having an issue where I can't see to get the 'Log in' text to be aligned with the rest of the navigation bar. Using margin or padding doesn't seem to push it up at all, and I managed to get it 3 pixels out by using line-height:0 but it wasn't enough. Ideas?

This is the design that I'm trying to achieve.

enter image description here

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">

</head>

<body>
<div class="wrapper">

<div class="NavBar">
        <div class="VictoriaHouse">
            <img src="Images/VictoriaHouse.JPG" alt="Victoria House & Viney Court">

            <div class="ActivePage">
                <img src="Images/Triangle.PNG"> </img>
            </div>

            <div class= "LoginContainer">
                <div class="DownTriangle">                
                    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-triangle-bottom" </span>
                </div>
                <h1 class="LoginTxt">Log in </h1> 
            </div>

        <ul>
       <li> <a href="Evosite.html" class="NavHome" id="Current")> Home </a> </li>

There are a couple of issues need to be fixed first.

1 <img> is a self-closing tag, remove </img> from <img src="Images/Triangle.PNG"> </img>, or use <img src="" />

2 It's missing a closing > here <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-triangle-bottom" </span>

3 Remove the ) from <a href="Evosite.html" class="NavHome" id="Current")>

The best way to get the login button in the right place is to adjust the structure slightly, to move it next to the navigation bar. And don't use <h1> for it, as it's not a headline.

I rewrote most of the CSS, removed all the unnecessary styles, see the details and demo below.
