Default Should I call to see the TURN?

Hi all, I've just started playing poker and have clocked about about 800+ hands. And the book I've read so far is Lou Kreiger's 'Holdem Excellence'. Here's a hand I played, and I'm wondering if I should have called at the FLOP to see the TURN, and to notice I've a chance at a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] flush draw.

Pokerroom.com, 0.5-1.0 limit (10 players)

Hero (me) is in BB with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
PRE-FLOP
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 bets raised, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, BT calls, SS folds, Hero calls .

FLOP (8SB)[board cards 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ]
Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP3 calls, BT folds, Hero folds.

TURN (5BB)[board cards 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ]
MP1 bets, MP3 calls.

RIVER (7BB)[board cards 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ]
MP1 bets, MP3 folds.

SHOWDOWN
Bee37 wins.

Now on hindsight, I should have called at the flop, since it's only a small bet, and I might hit an Ace on the TURN to give me a two pair, or hit a 3 to give me a set. In addition, I am holding a backdoor flush at the FLOP. Looks like the pot odds are good in my favour.

So is my reasoning correct?
Thanks! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
