This sounds alot like what happened to my car. I still haven't quite figured it out.

Hopefully the head gasket isn't toast. So you really shouldn't drive it only you can take it to a shop to be diagnosed if possible.

Is the auxillary fan kicking in ? It should after the car goes over 212. According to other owners it should stay on if the car is overheating even if you turn the engine off.

What temperature does it normally run at?
