11.Bxa7 gets you a pawn (of course, not 11.... b6 12.Ba6#) and further weakens his defense.

I have to agree with the above. If you had been playing someone rated 100 points below you, I suspect you would have found either 14.Bh4! or 14.a6, either of which gave you a substantial advantage. 17 a6 or 18 a6 would haqve been good
Out of curiosity would you guys have played on in my position or do you think it would have been hard for me to make headway in the game?

I think the queen in the final position is worth more than the rook + piece. I think that as an above poster pointed out, you could have played Nxc6 bxc6 and f3
But perhaps even stronger would be Nxc6 bxc6 Ba6+ Kb8 and Qd4 maybe? It has some serious potential there for a piece attack.
