I agree with others that you played this hand well but I will add (as I know Fundiver hit on this a bit) that you need to bet smaller on the turn for a few reasons.  One is that we now have the nuts outside of AA which I highly doubt here so we are not scared of any card coming on the river.  Second is that we have already played this hand to setup the river shove quite easily so we do not need to go large on the turn to get that under pot sized jam on the river.  Third and most importantly is that now since we are strong we want to see if we can give off a hint of weakness here.  Make it look (without over doing it) that we fear the board pairing a little.  Ax here that is not our holding would not love the Q pairing and we have played the hand like we have AK.  I am not sure it changes the result in this specific hand but I would go less on this turn (maybe something like 45 cents) and hope that it gives off an appearance of a blocker bet of sorts to get villain to check to us on the river since our AK is vulnerable.  Not sure if we have a villain who is thinking (one problem of mine is I always assume my opponents are decent) but if they are they might see that card and our bet as an invitation to bluff.  Like I said it may not matter in this hand but we definitely dont want a fold on that turn.  All in all though, great hand that ran out well and you still got pre flop and two streets of healthy value.
