Oil seems fine, but water temp seems a bit hot if it was only 80 outside. Do you have a 195 degree thermostat?

Usually after 30 min drive (normal street driving) in warm weather, the water and oil temp should be pretty close to each other. (+/- 5-10 degrees)

If it runs the same temp when its 90+ out and both temps are relatively close together (again in normal driving conditions), then I'd say you are fine. 100 isn't hot, it just seems hot when it's only 80 out under normal driving.
