Overheating

Yesterday I was stuck in a slow moving parade out of a parking garage. Was hardly moving for about 45 minutes. Had the car in Drive the whole time with the AC on. After about 25 minutes or so I noticed that my temperature gauge had hit the 120 mark. It wasn't quite to the red line, but it was darn close. I immediately turned on the heat, hoping to get some cool coolant flowing through the system. That seemed to work as the temp slowly came down to about 100. Then on my three hour drive home, the temp dropped to its usual 75 to 80 degree number.

All seemed well, but is there any chance some damage was done and is there anything I should check?

This is my E300D BTW.
