You have the nuts preflop...so play it that way.  :) 
 
You want to scare off the wimpy hands and only get called by one or two decent hands.  AA doesn't like a lot of folks seeing the flop.  So bet 4-6XBB preflop.  
 
Then you bet the flop strong since AA is still only one pair and, although a very good hand, not a monster.  Your pot sized bet should have driven away the drawing hands...leaving only the made hands to call (possibly just top pair).  When you are called on the flop, you reduced your bet to 1/2 pot on the turn...I don't mind that play.  The 3 is not great and you still have to consider that he may have made a flush on the flop.
 
Now I agree that the bet on the river was just tossing money away.  That board was ugly and this tight/passive player has just called two streets.  I check fold to any decent bet on the river.  (Well, that's what I say when I can logically examine it...in a real game, I probably push allin on the river and loose my ass...I'm stupid like that.)
 
I would add, as previously stated, that being able to drop your AA is a HUGE step in improving as a player...and you have made that step.  CONGRATS!
