React-Bootstrap link item in a navitem

Question

I'm having some styling issues using react-router and react-bootstrap. below is a snippet of the code

import { Route, RouteHandler, Link } from 'react-router';
import AuthService from '../services/AuthService'
import { Button, Nav, Navbar, NavDropdown, MenuItem, NavItem } from 'react-bootstrap';

    <Nav pullRight>
      <NavItem eventKey={1}>
        <Link to="home">Home</Link>
      </NavItem>
      <NavItem eventKey={2}>
        <Link to="book">Book Inv</Link>
      </NavItem>
      <NavDropdown eventKey={3} title="Authorization" id="basic-nav-dropdown">
        <MenuItem eventKey="3.1">
          <a href="" onClick={this.logout}>Logout</a>
        </MenuItem>          
      </NavDropdown>  
    </Nav>

This is what it looks like when it renders.

I know that the <Link></Link> is causing this but I don't know why? I would like for this to be in-line.

Using LinkContainer from react-router-bootstrap is the way to go. The following code should work.

import { Route, RouteHandler, Link } from 'react-router';
import AuthService from '../services/AuthService'
import { Button, Nav, Navbar, NavDropdown, MenuItem, NavItem } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { LinkContainer } from 'react-router-bootstrap';

/// In the render() method
<Nav pullRight>
  <LinkContainer to="/home">
    <NavItem eventKey={1}>Home</NavItem>
  </LinkContainer>
  <LinkContainer to="/book">
    <NavItem eventKey={2}>Book Inv</NavItem>
  </LinkContainer>
  <NavDropdown eventKey={3} title="Authorization" id="basic-nav-dropdown">
    <LinkContainer to="/logout">
      <MenuItem eventKey={3.1}>Logout</MenuItem>    
    </LinkContainer>      
  </NavDropdown>  
</Nav>

This is mostly a note to future self, when googling this issue. I hope someone else might benefit from the answer.
