Going to tahoe for 2 nights, roughly 7k ft elevation. i am accustomed to living close to sea level. any steps i should take before/during/after trip?

Probably not: That is a change in altitude, though keeping yourself hydrated will often relieve any problems with altitude. That is not high enough to cause altitude sickness.
