The closed curve in the figure is made up of 9 congruent circular arcs each of length $\frac{2\pi}{3}$, where each of the centers of the corresponding circles is among the vertices of a regular hexagon of side 2. What is the area enclosed by the curve?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 2\pi+6\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2\pi+4\sqrt{3}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 3\pi+4\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 2\pi+3\sqrt{3}+2\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \pi+6\sqrt{3}$
Draw the hexagon between the centers of the circles, and compute its area $(6)(0.5)(2\sqrt{3})=6\sqrt{3}$. Then add the areas of the three sectors outside the hexagon ($2\pi$) and subtract the areas of the three sectors inside the hexagon but outside the figure($\pi$) to get the area enclosed in the curved figure $(\pi+6\sqrt{3})$, which is $\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ \pi+6\sqrt{3}}$.
