Default $10 NL -- AA Was my line correct or weak?

First orbit at table so no reads, although previous hand was AQs and the table folded to my 4XBB + 1 raise.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($10.60)
Button ($9.15)
SB ($3.35)
BB ($11.80)
UTG ($8.70)
UTG+1 ($2.75)
MP1 ($10)
Hero ($9.25)
MP3 ($9.15)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.10, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls $0.40, UTG folds.

With flop 3-bet, I worried whether I might not be up against two pair or even set. Wasn't confident enough to push but saw definite straight and flush possibilities for villain. Decided to call 3-bet and see turn. Was this avoiding the tendency to lose my head over tp or just plain weak?

Flop: ($1.15) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.6</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $2.7</font>, Hero calls $1.10.

Doubt this turn card helped villain but aiming for pot control here with call.

Turn: ($6.55) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $2.1</font>, Hero calls $2.10.

River completed flush. Didn't want to risk reraise so I again called.

River: ($10.75) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $10.75

Suggestions please, or does this seem about right?
